Guberniev promised to give Bolshunov a Bentley if he heads the FLGR
Commentator and presenter of Match TV Dmitry Guberniev promised to give three-time Olympic champion Alexander Bolshunov an expensive car if he becomes president of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR).
On Thursday, Bolshunov won the 15 km freestyle time trial at the PhosAgro Russian Cup stage in Kazan and climbed to the highest step of the podium for the first time this season.
– Bolshunov won! This is how it should be – the strongest skier in Russia and one of the strongest in the world showed his class and responded to his ill-wishers. Bravo, Alexander Bolshunov! I’ll head the FLGR and give Bolshunov a Bentley. Deserved – Guberniev wrote in his Telegram channel.
Previously, Guberniev announced his intentions to nominate his candidacy for the election of the head of the FLGR; Elena Vyalbe has headed the federation since 2010.
On Saturday, the men’s and women’s sprints will be held at the stage of the Russian Cup in cross-country skiing in Kazan.
Watch live broadcasts of the competition on the Match TV channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
