Russia (bbabo.net), - Freestyler Sergei Ridzik shared his emotions after winning the bronze medal in the ski cross competition at the Beijing Olympics. For the Russian, this is the second bronze after the success in Pyeongchang-2018.

- I am glad that I could at least repeat the result of four years ago. But he strove for a gold medal, like all athletes who come to the Olympic Games. Nobody sets a goal just to go to the main start of a career, - Ridzik said at a press conference. - I can’t say that I am very disappointed or very happy: probably 50/50. I wanted more. But we are content with what we have. Although this bronze is still history: for me, for the team, for the country. We set a high goal. Unfortunately, another person took the gold.

Sergei also stressed that the Olympic cycle was not easy for him.

“I am glad that I was able to qualify for Beijing at all,” the athlete emphasized. - I had the only favorable result - the first place in the World Cup. And right here. The best performances were held in Beijing. I would like more stability. But I'm glad that I was able to win a medal.
