Niyaz NABEYEV: Tatarstan Nordic combined skiers stand a good chance to be included in the Olympics team. Part 1

Niyaz Nabeyev, master of sports in Nordic combined, took part in the meeting dedicated to XXII Winter Olympics and XI Winter Paralympics in Sochi. Afterwards, he told the journalists how the training for the winter season goes.

N.N.: We have started training for winter in Sochi in May. Our coaching staff changed completely; we met our new coaches there. There is only one foreign expert, working with equipment and as a consultant for the jumping part. Now, we have a much better understanding with the coaching staff.

Also, we changed our methods – we work more on the ski racing part and learn to keep the jumps stable when tired. This will come in handy at the World Cup to gain qualifying points and increase our chances of getting to Olympics. This is our main goal for the season.
