Olympic champion Svetlana Sleptsova reacted to re-election Viktor Maygurov as President of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU).
On Friday, October 14, the RBU Reports and Elections Conference was held in the building of the Russian Olympic Committee in Moscow. Candidates were voted by secret ballot. In addition to Maygurov, the head of the Moscow Region Biathlon Federation, Alexei Nuzhdov, also applied for the post of head of the RRF. The 54 delegates who attended the meeting voted. Maygurov received 31 votes, Nuzhdov – 23.
– I think Viktor Viktorovich deserved to be re-elected to the post of President of the RBU. Everything went as it should. If the vote were open, the question would be different. But if it’s secret, then after all people made the right choice and voted for the one they trust,” Sleepsova told .
– That is, Maigurov is more suitable than Nuzhdov for the post of chairman of the RRF?
Well, I can’t say which is more suitable. People choose here. Unfortunately, I don’t know Nuzhdov, we don’t know each other. I know Viktor Viktorovitch. I have known him for a very long time. Both as an athlete and as a leader. I think people have chosen the one in whom they see the future of biathlon.
