The search for a ski manufacturer could become a global problem for Russian biathletes as foreign manufacturers refuse to supply equipment to Russia, the Russian national team biathlete said in an interview with . Vasily Tomshin .
– Earlier, the President of the Russian Biathlon Union, Viktor Maigurov, spoke about the problems with the equipment of the national team. Tell me, how is the situation with your inventory personally?
– Finding a manufacturer of skis that an athlete uses can become a global problem. The Salomon skis I ride have taken a hard line that in the current situation they will not ship their equipment to Russia. Now I run with skis that I had since last season. What will happen next, I don’t know.
– How about switching to Russian skis?
— If the Russian manufacturers offer something interesting, of course, I will consider the options. Ideally, I would like to continue working on the skis I use now.
– Who provides you with the skis now?
– My sports organization in St. Petersburg, the Higher School of Sportsmanship, helps me in part. She provided me with several pairs of skis for this season, but still not the level of skis I received directly from the manufacturer,” said Tomshin.
