The captain of the men’s team will not be able to run in Gelsenkirchen due to a previous injury.

Anton Dudchenko will represent the Ukrainian national team on December 28 at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, during the traditional Christmas race. Dudchenko will be performing in the competition for the first time. This was reported by Instagram Biathlon auf Schalke.

His future partner will be the experienced Julia Jima, who has already participated in the race more than once. Last year, together with Pidruchny, he took 2nd place in the mass start and 8th place in the pursuit.

Jim and Pidruchny were supposed to be married this year, but the captain of the men’s team, as you know, was seriously injured and underwent surgery. The athlete will not recover until February.
