Sasha Faleeva won the women's classic sprint at the Spartakiad of the Strongest. Coach Yegor Sorin did not consider the result a sensation.

Sorin said Savely Korostelev was simply unlucky to miss out on the final. He also said that Sergei Ustyugov was not in the right condition right now. The coach also spoke about Alexander Bolshunov’s landing and Veronika Stepanova”s psychological onslaught on Nastya.
