“After gathering in Ramsau, Denis got sick with coronavirus.
He had serious medical treatment, took antibiotics, and did not exercise for three weeks.
He recently started training.
The results that he showed at the test starts inspire some optimism.
In a little less than ten days, he managed to reach this level.
Hopefully, by the time of the World Cup in Davos, he will be in the best condition.
And on the Tour de Ski, he must acquire a certain fighting form, "- quotes the senior coach of the Russian national team Yuri Borodavko RIAN News.
Spitsov and Sobakarev were not included in the Russian national team for the first stage of the 2020/21 World Cup, which will be held from November 27 to 29 in Finland.
Earlier it was reported that Ustyugov will miss the first stage of the World Cup in cross-country skiing.
