Olympic champion in cross-country skiing Alexander Legkov hopes that someone will be able to impose a fight on Norwegians and Swedes at the 2023 World Championships in Planica (Slovenia).
– Let’s hope that someone will beat the Norwegians and the Swedes, but the probability, to be honest, is small. Although the Italians won the only relay at the World Cup in Toblach, but at the World Championships, I would not have given 0.1 percent to the victory of Markus Kramer’s wards. Norwegians in men will dominate, in women – Swedes. I think the whole World Cup will go like this. Although I would like other countries to also pull themselves up and impose a struggle at least in some races,” Legkov told the “Championship”.
Russian skiers in the 2022/23 season are suspended from participation in international competitions.
Live broadcasts of the World Ski Championships can be seen on the channels of the Match TV holding, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
