Biathlete Ekaterina Noskova performed well at the Russian Skiing Championships, but she should not change her sport, because for stable results she needs to train in cross-country skiing for many years, said Yuri Borodavko, coach of the Russian Skiing Championships. Russian national team, in an interview with MatchTV.
On Wednesday, Noskova and skier Alena Perevozchikova took second place as part of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug team in the freestyle team sprint at the Russian Championships in Tyumen. Earlier, Noskova (1 minute 35.6 seconds behind first place) and fellow biathlete Elizaveta Kaplina (+2.13.7) took 21st and 33rd places in the 10km freestyle time trial.
– How do you assess the results of the women’s team sprint?
– Tyumen region predictably won, it was clear. I was surprised by the second place in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, since biathlete Ekaterina Noskova took part in this team. The rest of the athletes in this race did not show the highest level, this is due to the fact that many sprinters simply got sick and could not run. The competition in their absence has plummeted.
Did Noskova impress you?
– Ekaterina passed the race with dignity, congratulations! But I can’t say I’m impressed. To do this, you had to show something extraordinary.
– Maybe Noskov should be invited to go cross-country skiing for good?
“I don’t think it’s worth it. However, the 10 kilometer skate race showed that it is not so easy for a biathlete to change. Biathlon is not cross-country skiing, we have our own specifics that we have to prepare for for many years, Borodavko said in an interview with .
