​Krasnoyarsk citizen Nikita Tregubov  has become  a winner of the World Cup stage.

The third stage of the World Cup in the bobsleigh and skeleton took place in Whistler city (Canada) last weekend. Two sportsmen presented Russia: Vladislav Marchenkov and Nikita Tregubov, a sportsman of the regional Academy of Winter Sports.

Nikita Tregubov  managed to climb the pedestal  and became the second.

«Now it is not easy for our athletes to perform, knowing that at any time they can be removed from the competition. In the absence of the more experienced Alexander Tretyakov, who is forced to miss the start because of political decisions taken at the international level, Nikita was able not only to withstand the pressure that is exerted on the entire Russian team, but also to win the medal. This indicates his high professionalism. He proved to the whole world that Russians are capable of showing high results regardless of the circumstances, so our athlete's medal is very important for all Russian sport », - acting Minister of Sports of the Krasnoyarsk region Sergei Alekseev noted.
