Former member of the national team who died Russia in biathlon, Valery Shashkin was one of the most important people in the national team, the news of his death is shocking, the presenter and commentator told Dmitri Guberniev .
Valery Shashkin has died at the age of 54, the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) announced on Thursday. In 2019, Shashkin joined the Slovenian team.
“It’s a huge loss. The golden years of the national team and, in particular, Shipulin are precisely connected with Valera. Shashkin left the team, he was not in recent seasons, but it was a man who cared about biathlon and athletes with all his heart, a true professional.
It’s a loss for the biathlon family, we’ve been talking to Valera for 20 years, it’s shocking news for me. Condolences to family and friends, the entire biathlon family. Valera was the personification of Russian service power. Once I called our service “Mariinsky World Service” and in this brilliant theater Shashkin played one of the main roles, Guberniev told .
The farewell to Shashkin will take place on November 12 in the city of Yeniseisk (Krasnoyarsk Territory).
