Olympic biathlon medalist Nigmatullina will miss the season due to pregnancy

Double Olympic medalist in biathlon Uliana Nigmatullina announced that she will miss the 2022/23 season due to pregnancy.

– This season I will be distracted by a serious mission – the birth of a child. Everything should happen at the beginning of February. It’s too early to accept congratulations. This winter will be interesting,” Nigmatullina said on the Two Things at Once podcast.

Nigmatullina won silver and bronze at the 2022 Beijing Games in the classic and mixed relays, respectively. In addition, the 28-year-old athlete has two victories at the World Cup stages.

In September, the congress of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) extended the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes from competitions under its auspices.
