The difficult season of the Russian skiing star continued.
It hurts and happens to Aleksandr Bolshunov. PASI LEISMA
Russian skiing star Alexander Bolshunov finished 23rd in the Russian national level combined skiing competition at the weekend.
The ranking of the three-time gold medalist of the Beijing 2022 Olympics was explained by his finish. 28-year-old Bolšunov crossed the finish line without skis on his feet.
The strange sight started when Bolšunov, who was skiing in the top group, fell a little before the finish, with the result that one of his skis came off. The Russian, who had lost his winning streak, showed the wrong side of his character again by beating the crowd to fat. He trotted to the finish line instead of skiing.
Like other Russians, Bolšunov, who was kicked out of international competitions, is remembered as a top skier whose head can’t stand disappointments. A man’s physical showdown Joni Mäen with gathered headlines four years ago.
A couple of months later, Bolšunov rattled again at the finish line, this time in the World Cup medal fight. That time, Bolšunov crashed when the gold medal ran away in the collision Johannes Høsflot Klæbon with.
The Olympic success of a couple of years ago is just a memory. Bolšunov has not managed even in the Russian national skiing competitions this season. The speed of the athlete, who suffered from illnesses, has been lost, and in addition, a special misfortune has befallen him.
In December, a drone hit Bolšunov in the middle of a competition.
