“Garanichev was prescribed a few days of rest, ointments and massages. Everything should be fine” — coach Kugaevsky

Head coach of the Tyumen region biathlon team Maxim Kugaevsky said that Yevgeny Garanichev who missed the single mixed relay during the Russian Cup stage in Uvat, should recover in the next few days, he was prescribed a massage.

Earlier on Sunday, Kugaevsky told that Garanichev, who had been announced for mixed doubles singles with Victoria Slivko, would miss the race due to injury. Saturday’s sprint races were held in temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius. Garanichev took 30th place in the sprint.

– Garanichev was running the day before in cold weather, so his neck got a little blown, a nerve got inflamed and he couldn’t turn his neck because of the pinch. But in general, nothing too bad. The doctors prescribed a few days of rest, ointments and massages – everything should be fine.

In the single mixed relay, he was replaced by Vadim Istamgulov, who had played this race enough. Initially, they planned to put him in a pair with Irina Kazakevich, but following an operational replacement, he ran with Victoria Slivko and took second place. He was very worried in the first stage, but in the decisive stage he recovered and shot quickly and accurately. Istamgulov is a two-time world junior champion and a talented athlete with good potential,” Kugaevsky told Metaratings.ru.

The third stage of the Biathlon Russian Cup will be held in Tyumen from December 8 to 11.
