Four-time Olympic champion Alexander Tikhonov commenting on the results of the sprint races at the second stage of the Russian Cup, called for holding a tournament similar to the Biathlon World Championship in the country.
“I want to congratulate everyone for such a good race. Everyone was great comrades who gave us not an overtaking stage, but a very close race. It’s only the beginning of the season, everything will change. However, the fact that our biathletes are dedicated to isolation is very good.
But the main task of the season is preparation for the World Cup. The federation must be ready for anything. If we are not allowed to participate in the World Cup, then in February we have to organize our championship in Russia. A real championship, similar to the Finnish championship. We have to be fit and ready for the Olympics and the next world championships.
Sanctions and restrictions will end, and we must be ready to burst into international tournaments immediately and show our strength. Therefore, such a start to the Russian Cup is a good sign that shows that we are not giving up and moving forward,” Sport24 Tikhonov quotes.
