Beijing, February 5, Alexander Bokulev. Ice in the Olympic arena for speed skating in Beijing, every day is different, its quality causes dissatisfaction, Natalya Voronina, the bronze medalist of the 2018 Games, told reporters. On Saturday, the Russian woman took 11th place at a distance of 3000 meters. It was the first race in the skating competition program at the 2022 Olympics. «Here every day the ice is different and I can’t say that I liked it at least once. I’m dissatisfied with the ice, I don’t like it here. It happens much worse, but I'm not happy. But my condition may not be the same, because the season for me, unfortunately, is not very good, «Voronina admitted. In October, the athlete underwent surgery to remove a stone from her kidneys and missed the Russian championship. Now Voronina expects to show her current maximum at a crown distance of 5000 meters.
