Olympic biathlon champion in 1992 within the combined team of the former republics of the USSR Yevgeny Redkin talked about the lowest temperature he had to compete in.
Earlier, the Ural Arena Telegram channel reported that the first stage of the Russian Biathlon Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk, which was scheduled to start on November 24, may be postponed due to weather conditions. The Russian Biathlon Union usually cancels starts at temperatures below minus 20 or minus 18 degrees in strong winds.
– There are certain requirements: if the temperature is not lower than normal, the competition will take place. In Soviet times, as a rule, they ran with any minus. Personally, I competed at minus 25, although we were told minus 22 is the limit,” Redkin told .
