The Main Coach of the Russian national Ski Jumping team Dmitri Dubrovskiy talks about the process of preparation for the Olympic Games:

- We understand that it’s impossible to reduce the 2-3 minutes lag from top-athletes in cross-country skiing, but we are sure we can improve our current result and reach the distance 30-40 seconds quicker. This will give us the possibility to get to the World Cup circuit and earn quotas for the Olympic Games.
