Coach Russian team biathlon Mikhail Shachilov said he had no prejudice against foreign athletes, because in the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, all the teams communicated warmly.
Earlier, the International Biathlon Union (IBU) suspended Russian athletes from tournaments under its auspices due to the situation in Ukraine.
Will I watch the World Cup? Why not take a look? The strongest athletes after all. We have no prejudice against them. They are normal people. In Beijing, everything was fine: Ukrainians and everyone – everyone was hugging. Everyone spoke normally. I don’t think if we come out (of isolation) now, something will happen and there will be intrigues. There are all kinds of people: with us and with them. In short, people are nice!
Of course, we must follow the trends of world biathlon, the athletes will also follow. We know where to start. To be in the top 20 is very good,” Shashilov told reporters.
