Four-time Olympic champion Daria Domracheva who coached the Chinese biathlon team for two and a half years, told the need to cooperate with Asian sports federations, but not cling to them.
Domracheva and her husband Ole Einar Bjoerndalen coached the Chinese national biathlon team from September 2019 to February 2022. At the moment the family lives in Monaco, both coaches are not employed.
– Should Russian sport consider moving to Asia? Will there be a good level of competition and organization of departures?
– With competition in strong sports – figure skating, short track, diving – in Asia, of course, everything is in order. There are more problems in the weaker disciplines.
They know how to organize tournaments in China and other Asian countries, but in general the question is complex and multifaceted, you have to weigh the pros and cons. Of course, we must maintain and develop cooperation with Asian sports federations, but at the same time strive to return to the international scene. Every athlete since childhood dreams of a world podium, and Asian sports, under normal epidemiological conditions, still gravitate towards international tournaments. It would be deeply wrong to be offended by the rest of the world and turn completely to one part of the world.
