World champion from Kazakhstan after the failure at the 2022 Olympics announced his retirement

The performance at the 2022 Olympics was the last in the career of 33-year-old Denis Kuzin. The Kazakh skater told bbabo.net about this after the finish.

Today, February 18, he performed at the only start for himself - at a distance of 1000 meters, where he was left without a medal. In this discipline in 2013, Kuzin won the gold of the world championship.

- Denis, how would you comment on your performance?

- I have no comments. The only thing I would like to apologize to the people of Kazakhstan, to all my friends and acquaintances. Before those who supported me today, supported. To be honest, I don't know what happened at the race today. Why such a result... I have no excuses for my actions yet. I know that I performed very badly for myself today, for my last career start.

- Are you ending your career?

- Yes. This is the last start. There were plans to finish at the World Championships in sprint all-around, which will be held in three weeks. But judging by today's races, I think this is my last start in my career.

- Do yourself further in sports?

- Now it is difficult to say something about what will happen next. It is necessary to finish, and then see what prospects will open up. Of course it's scary. 23 years in sports. In fact, there is very little you can do in life. So I will watch.
