Coach of the Russian women’s team Mikhail Shachilov told that several biathletes in his group were ill and might not start the first race of the Russian Cup stage in Tyumen.
On Thursday, the Russian Cup stage in Tyumen will start with sprint races for men and women.
– After the freeze in Uvat, how do the athletes feel now? Is everyone healthy?
“Someone is not well, someone will not start tomorrow,” Shashilov told . – We will see tomorrow. Someone had a fever yesterday, someone was mildly unwell. We will decide in the morning before the race. Everything seems ready to start.
– Are these the consequences of starting in cold weather?
– Not. Now the infection is everywhere. In Uvat, half of the athletes were sick, in Tyumen they are sick. This is life, our reality, nothing to fear.
– How do you like the track in Tyumen, is there enough snow?
– Everything is fine, as always. Today in training the temperature was -18, in the morning the classes for the guys were postponed for an hour. Tomorrow, I think, the departures will take place.
