Winner and laureate of the stages of the Russian Cup in cross-country skiing Savely Korostelev told Metaratings.ru that he does not plan to switch to biathlon.
— Your video with Natalia Nepryaeva shooting a biathlon rifle moved biathlon and cross-country skiing fans! And immediately a question arose about interest in biathlon: do you have it?
– Everything happened spontaneously (laughs). The guys (Natalya Nepryaeva and Alexander Terentyev – approximately) had an unloading day, and I saw, passing on skis, that they decided to try shooting from an air rifle. I drove, I joked about the feeling with Natasha’s transition to biathlon, then I went to do my training …
– Isn’t it disappointing the constant comparison of skiers with biathletes in terms of TV shows, prize money and other “goodies”?
I take it as neutrally as possible. Cross-country skiing is my sport and I don’t want to switch to biathlon.
Earlier, Natalia Shevchenko (née Mekryukova) switched from skiing to biathlon. At the fourth stage of the PARI Biathlon Commonwealth Cup, the ex-skier took second place in the sprint race, losing only to Larisa Kuklina.
