– Which compatriot are you most proud of? Alexander Vasilyevich Filipenko. I will talk about the biathlon center. If he hadn’t built it, I might not have become a biathlete. It gave me the motivation to have such a stadium, the best in the world. Of course, when I was little, I wanted to use it at world championships and world cups.
In the early 2000s, were Ugra biathletes perceived as Arab sheikhs? Yes, we were provided with almost everything, we had the best camps, skis, gear. And even now, if you look at biathletes and skiers from Khanty-Mansiysk, then we have the most beautiful equipment,” Sleepsova said on .
