Russia (bbabo.net), - German skier Sophie Krehl shared her emotions after the relay at the Beijing Olympics. According to Krell, on the last lap she tried to rest a little, following the Russian Veronika Stepanova, but could not do this, because Stepanova was too good.

Recall that our team took gold in the relay race: Yulia Stupak ran in the first stage, Natalia Nepryaeva in the second, Tatyana Sorina in the third, and Stepanova was the finisher. Silver went to the Germans, bronze - to the Swedes.

“It was unusual to start in front of the Russians. I wanted to take my time at the start, I thought that maybe Stepanova would come earlier and beat me, but it happened on the second lap. Then I tried to rest behind her, but she was too good . In the end, I did what I could," Krel told reporters.

Let's add that our skiers brought the third gold to the Russian national team at the current Olympics. The team also has four silver and six bronze medals - a total of 13.
