Beijing, Feb 16, Sergey Fuks. Head of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR) ) Elena Vyalbe criticized the participants of the second semi-final race in the team sprint at the Olympic Games in Beijing. The race took place on Wednesday. Alexander Terentiev and Alexander Bolshunov finished third. The victory was won by the Norwegians Eric Valnes and Johannes Klebo with a result of 19 minutes 22.99 seconds. Finns Iivo Niskanen and Yoni Maki are second (+2.46 seconds). The Russians lost 4.29 seconds to the winners. «As for the men, if we ran in the first race, maybe we could think about it (about victory). But when I saw the second races, it's unrealistic. Well, 20 minutes between starts «It's impossible to recover there. Terentyev's fall in the semi-finals didn't play any role at all. In general, forget about this fall, Lord. Well, what strength could he spend there? It's just that the second race was very bad, some, pardon the expression, fools started all the time thresh like crazy, they then won 18 seconds from the first race. Well, this is not normal! As a result, those who twitched so much did not get (to the final), and people just all “got drunk” ahead of time and that’s all, «Vyalbe told reporters.
