"The Elbrus resort will host the third stage of the Russian Ski Mountaineering Cup. Representatives of the Russian national team and teams of the country's constituent entities will take part in the competition. The competitions will be held from January 28 to January 29 in the disciplines of "vertical race" and "individual race," the press service reported. Athletes will go on the route at seven in the morning from the Azau Clearing to the Krugozor station, so by the time the resort opens, the track will already be free and prepared for guests.
In the vertical race, ski climbers will overcome the ascent without descents with a total climb of about 650 meters. In the individual race, four off-piste ascents and three descents are waiting for participants on the route. The judges will determine the result of the races based on the total time of passing the distances and the amount of fines.
The strongest athletes of the country will gather on Elbrus, including Nikita Filippov, a participant of the Youth Olympic Games from Kamchatka, Vitaly Shkel, a world record holder in the races on Elbrus and Lenin Peak from Kabardino-Balkaria, Evgeny Markov, a world record holder in the Kazbek race from the Chelyabinsk region, Varvara Prokhorova, a world champion in steeplechase (Spartan Race) from Moscow.
Among the participants are representatives of traditionally ski-climbing regions - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kabardino-Balkaria, Kamchatka Krai, Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk regions, as well as novice regions. "The competitions are designed to continue the search and selection of the strongest athletes, to raise their overall level of training," explained Kavkaz.RF JSC.
