Bolshunov is indeed a beautiful and powerful skier - and I enjoy watching him ski, particularly classic. But historians will recall that there is undeniable history of state-sponsored development concerning the use of performance enhancing drugs in the Soviet Union going back to 1960 when the Soviets hockey team beat the Americans amidst extremely suspicious circumstances. Now 64 years later we are still considering the athletes to be legitimate competitors? If you find this to be a stretch try watching Bryan Fogel’s film “Icarus”. Without the Russians competing since the invasion of Ukraine - it feels like we have gotten real skiing back again.
