Vyalbe: “Korostelev will immediately fly from Tyumen to Davos. The main thing is to have an invitation from FIS”
President of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR) Elena Vyalbe said on Match TV that Savely Korostelev from Tyumen will fly to Davos, where the World Cup stage will take place next week.
The third stage of the Cross-Country World Cup will be held in Davos (Switzerland) from December 12 to 14. The second stage of the PhosAgro Russian Cup will end today in Tyumen.
— We understand that invited skiers must have visas, but not everyone has them. But there are some athletes who have visas. I can say that Savely Korostelev from Tyumen will immediately fly to Davos. As for potential candidates for invitation… Not everyone has visas. And we won’t do anything in one day, even if we really want to. However, the main thing is to have this invitation. Then it will even be easier to come to the consulate. We’ll wait until Monday, since FIS doesn’t work on weekends, doesn’t respond to emails, they’re silent. If they communicate, then only directly with the athletes. Of course, we are not sitting idly by. Honestly, in Russia we run on fluoride. We urgently need to clean our skis now. At least one cover must be clean. There are a lot of problems, but we can handle them,” Vyalbe said on the air of the “Ski Country” program on Match TV.
Ski racing competitions are available live on the Match TV and Match! Arena”, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.

Skier Alexander Bakurov said on Match TV that he felt good during the mass start in Tyumen; the consequences of the injury he received when Alexander Bolshunov pushed him did not bother him.
On Sunday, Bakurov became eighth in the mass start at the second stage of the PhosAgro Russian Cup in Tyumen. The winner was Savely Korostelev, he covered 20 kilometers in the classical style in 41 minutes 3.3 seconds. Three-time Olympic champion Alexander Bolshunov finished second (lag – 0.1 seconds).
Earlier, Bolshunov pushed Bakurov after the finish of the sprint semi-final in Kirovsk. Bakurov limped away from the scene of the incident, and Bolshunov was disqualified following the results of the race. Bolshunov could not take part in all-Russian competitions until Bakurov recovered from the injury and returned to competitions.
“I felt pretty good.” The first two laps were terrible. I got into trouble. I had to spend a lot of effort to catch up, I even polished in the end. Lost ground on the last descents. I’m glad I was able to get back on the track. The leg didn’t bother me. I really don’t want to miss races. “I wanted to come back and participate in the races as soon as possible,” Bakurov said on Match TV.
The next stage of the Russian Cup will be held in Chusovoy from December 11 to 14.
Cross-country skiing competitions are shown live on TV channels of the Match family, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
