Skier Stepanova said that the atmosphere in Europe is not suitable for a person who decides to achieve something
Olympic champion in cross-country skiing Veronika Stepanova believes that it is difficult for athletes to achieve high results in Europe.
– The atmosphere in Europe is completely unsuitable for an ambitious person who has decided to achieve something and expects the same from the environment.
I am writing this at the inter-gathering, my plan for today is ambitious, but doable: it includes home visits by an electrician, a plumber and a mysterious “heat meter checker” for me, a trip to the hairdresser, an interview on television – and I still have time to work out.
I can safely say that it would take me a week to carry out such a set of tasks in some Oslo. I don’t have this week, I’ll soon have a new training camp, I need to do everything here and now! – quotes the words of Stepanova “Match TV”.
Stepanova won the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics as part of the women’s relay.
