“Skiing is the number one sport for the Norwegians.
There is a high availability of trails.
Guys and girls drive 300 km in one circle.
300!
One circle.
From Oslo you can easily ski to Shushen.
And from Shushen - to Lillehammer, ”Sport24 quotes Bolshunov.
The skier also talked about a special application for the Norwegians.
“They have a special app where you can see where and which track is prepared, where and which snowcat is driving.
In the morning I looked where he went, and you choose where you will skate, ”he said.
Bolshunov noted that the tracks in Norway are prepared and accessible to everyone.
“In the same Shushen, local residents go skiing to the store.
We arrived, put our skis on and went to the supermarket.
This is normal.
Hence the roots of the fact that there are five Norwegians at the finish line in the leading group, ”said the skier.
At the 2021 World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf, Germany, Alexander Bolshunov won a gold medal in the skiathlon, silver in the relay and marathon, and bronze in the team sprint.
In addition, last season the Russian skier won the prestigious Tour de Ski race for the second time in a row and won the overall World Cup.
Earlier it was reported that Bolshunov and Terentyev won the team sprint in the CR in cross-country skiing.
