Four-time Olympic champion Alexander Tikhonov summarized the outgoing year in Russian biathlon.
– Performed very well this year Daniil Serokhvostov . His three victories marked me. He made a big breakthrough this year. He is young, smart and fast, so I can call him the future of our biathlon and the discovery of the year.
I can’t say the same for the girls. This year I don’t have anyone to single out because I watch the World Cup, other international competitions and see how uncompetitive our women’s team is and how girls from other countries prepare, shoot , are performing in other world tournaments, and it has become clear to me that our women are lagging behind, and heavily.
I want justice to prevail next year, so that we are allowed to participate in international competitions. But we have to remember the history of our biathlon, once we were the best federation in the world, but now we cannot train our girls properly. Next year, I would like the federation to be stronger in all aspects. Now they are working badly, but there is always hope for the best,” Sport24 Tikhonov quotes.
