Coach Alexei Sotskov

A contributor to the Snow AUS NSWACT XC Facebook will be NSWACT XC  and AUS XC Junior Coach Alexei Sotskov. He will soon be back in Australia, with his wife Victoria, to assist athletes training during the pre-season and the winter. This will be his second winter in Australia as coach, although he has coached young Australian XC skiers remotely throughout the COVID lockdowns. Alexei was in Europe from approximately early November to early March preparing young AUS XC athletes for local and national races, World Cup events and the Nordic Junior and U23 World Championships. He has only been able to have a little break at his home in America before making his way to OZ again. Our skiers have progressed significantly and been able to meet their ambitious goals through Alexei's guidance.  We welcome him back on this coming Sunday at the Rollerski "Come & Try" Event in Sydney on the 3rd of April and look forward to seeing him up at Perisher over the winter.
