Traditionally, Lukashenka won the Minsk Ski Race held for Belarusian officials on February 20.

Explanation is very simple even professional skiers are afraid to outrun the Belarusian ruler. Lukashenka’s team was leading just a few seconds after the start, leaving other competitors 20 metres behind. The team was followed by skiers from the Border Committee and the Ministry of Sport.

“This is a very interesting day for officials. You can notice a competitive spirit, you see everyone doing his best. We were the forth among ten teams. On the whole, I am happy with this,” Belarusian Prosecutor General Ryhor Vasilevich told in an interview to STV channel.
