Coach of the Russian women’s team Mikhail Shachilov told that he trusts the re-elected president of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) Viktor Maygurov .
On October 14, in the building of the Russian Olympic Committee in Moscow, the report and election conference of the RBU was held, the vote for the candidates for the presidency was secret. Aleksey Nuzhdov, president of the Moscow Region Biathlon Federation, also claimed the position of head of the organization. All 54 delegates who took part in the meeting voted: Maygurov received 31 votes, Nuzhdov – 23.
“We have to work, no one has canceled work. Maigurov is a biathlon man with whom you can sit at a table, quarrel, and then go about your business. For better or for worse… We have to move on. There is confidence in him, a person understands biathlon. All these years you have been able to come see it, sit down and understand what needs to be done. At least that’s how it worked. I think it will go further. In principle, he left biathlon, he knows everything here, he is also aware of all international affairs. We will crawl one day, and that will be our advantage with Viktor Viktorovich. Go to work. Problems arise under any president, they need to be solved, plowed through,” Shashilov told .
Maygurov is 53 years old. He is a two-time Olympic medalist, three-time world champion and led the RRF in the summer of 2020.
