Head coach of the Russian national biathlon team Artem Istomine told about his squad’s preparation for the start of the Russian Cup.
The first stage of the tournament will take place in Khanty-Mansiysk from November 24 to 27. Natalia Gerbulova, Anastasia Goreeva, Ksenia Dovgaya, Elizaveta Kaplina, Svetlana Mironova, Ekaterina Noskova, Daniil Serokhvostov and Karim Khalili train in Istomin’s group. Larisa Kuklina moved to Yuri Kaminsky, Kristina Reztsova will miss the season due to pregnancy.
– The mood works, but, unfortunately, not everyone is healthy. Daniil Serokhvostov fell ill. Hope it gets better soon. In women, Elizaveta Kaplina pulled a ligament. Is it long? The ligaments don’t heal at all quickly, and today she just did her first two-stick workout.
As for the weather, let’s see what it will be: they can postpone the start or shorten the program. It is clear that no one will run in less than 30. My experience at low temperatures? At 20 minus I had to run, Istomin told .
Russian biathletes are not allowed to participate in international competitions under the auspices of the IBU due to the situation in Ukraine.
