"The greatest gold"
Olympic champion temporarily “changes” her job
"I'm temporarily changing my job": Russian cross-country skiing Olympic champion Veronika Stepanova has made an amusing post announcing the happy news of her upcoming offspring.
"I am preparing to achieve the greatest gold in my life: I'm going to be a mom," the 23-year-old wrote on Instagram to a photo showing her in front of a crib and with a finger on her lips. For this reason, she is temporarily changing jobs, Stepanova said.
"See you in the 2025/26 Olympic season," said the cross-country skier in the same breath, talking about her return to the cross-country ski trail. Whether Russian athletes will even be allowed to take part in the 2026 Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina is more than questionable due to the war in Ukraine.

At the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing, the 23-year-old won the gold medal as the final skater in the women's relay. And caused a stir back then with a witty remark. When a Swedish journalist suspected the Russians of having used an unauthorized ski wax during the race, Stepanova said: "Why don't you look in my underpants? Maybe I'm hiding a motor in there."
