MOSCOW, June 22, Sergey Smyshlyaev. Olympic champion Russian skier Sergey Ustyugov in the interview stated that he would definitely not take part in the 2026 Olympic Games. The XXV Winter Olympic Games — 2026 will be held in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy. 30-year-old Ustyugov is a two-time world champion and Olympic champion in the relay. «For the next Olympics — 100% no. I decided this a long time ago. As they say, you need to leave on time. Yes, this is my favorite job, but you need to think about what to do after the sport. I’ll stay close to the ski races or move somewhere further. If I used to ride in training and think about how to put my arm or leg, now you go and work on a business plan. This is normal, this is life, everyone goes through it, «said Ustyugov .Full interview with Sergei Ustyugov read on Thursday at rsport.ria.ru.
