“” commentator Dmitri Guberniev commenting on re-election Viktor Maygurov for the post of President of the Russian Biathlon Union, noted that the elections were fair with the help of the television channel.
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. The President of the Moscow Region Biathlon Federation also claimed the position of head of the organization. Alexei Nuzhdov . All 54 delegates who took part in the meeting voted: Maygurov received 31 votes, Nuzhdov – 23.
– Congratulations to Viktor Maygurov on his re-election! We will continue to cooperate as we have done before. I want to say that with the help of our TV channel the election was fair and felt like an election. In a few days, we liquidated the administrative resource that was present. I know for sure that negligent officials received a hat from the Ministry of Sports. The final vote took place by secret ballot. Last time around, the elections looked like a farce, when people were just quick to say they were afraid to voice their position.
31:23 – Maygurov’s victory is not so obvious. However, we must not forget that Nuzhdov won 23 votes, that is, representatives of 23 regions expressed their support for him. And it seems to me that Russian biathlon also needs Nuzhdov. In any case, you have to rely on your experience and your positions. Somehow he should be in this biathlon orbit, and not just as the president of the federation near Moscow. Thanks to the combat candidates, Maygurov won, but I firmly believe that Nuzhdov is the person our biathlon needs. In whatever capacity, Guberniev 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.
