– Who can be singled out at the end of the season?
– Shevchenko won two individual races here, she also became the national relay champion. It is a good indicator of how to work, that nothing is impossible. I will also mention the juniors who will join the national team soon. There is a generational change.
– Natalia said that people from her environment in cross-country skiing are thinking about switching to biathlon. Are you interested in such transfers?
We are ready to continue this practice. The coaches have names, but there are no details yet. There is a precedent, the experience is good, I think skiers can try biathlon well. Moreover, it is never too late to return to cross-country skiing, – the correspondent reports Maigurov’s words.
