Beijing, Feb 13, Sergey Fuks. Olympic Games in Beijing, four years ago they were chicks, and now they show that they are thoroughly on their feet, said Elena Vyalbe, president of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR). On Sunday, Russian skiers Alexei Chervotkin, Alexander Bolshunov, Denis Spitsov and Sergey Ustyugov won gold medals in the 4 x 10 km relay. The Russian national team for the first time in its history became the winner in this discipline at the Olympic Games. «They were chicks four years ago, now they are already standing on their feet. I'm worried, but now I'm relaxed. I probably calmed down a little at the second stage. In the end the second stage, I realized that (gold) is ours. Terrible weather, after each finish, I approached the guys, asked, they all said: damn it, it’s all over. It was very, very hard to run. «Everyone said that it was a difficult track. We were lucky. I can say that the more difficult the weather, the more often it happens that we are better. Thank God,» Vyalbe told reporters.
