russian biathlete Ekaterina Yurlova-Perkht in an interview with “Championship” she named the reasons for the progress of Russian biathlon, which this sport has achieved in recent years.
At the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, Russian biathletes won one silver and three bronze.
— I think there are many elements. In my memory, there were seasons when our athletes didn’t lose physically to their rivals, but we had big problems with the logistical material: there weren’t the necessary skis or the necessary structure on the skis. Sometimes I realized that I was running just as well, but as soon as the descent starts, the opponent goes at such speed that you simply cannot do anything. So it’s a combination of factors. I know that a lot of work has been done by the technicians, the service team, so it’s one of the components of the success of the last Winter Olympics.
In addition, there was a generational change. A legendary generation has passed away in the world of biathlon. They are replaced by other athletes, but it’s not so fast. The Germans or the French just had such a change last season. And we were able to complete this process a little earlier and succeed, – quotes the words of Yurlova-Perkht “Championship”.
Yurlova-Perkht is a world and European champion, as well as a seven-time Russian champion.
