Honored Coach of the USSR Nikolai Lopukhov told that since November last year he has not worked with a biathlete Ekaterina Bekh from that moment the athlete ceased to communicate.
Lopukhov at the start of the current season was Beh’s personal trainer. Under his leadership, the biathlete performed at the Commonwealth Cup stage, finishing seventh in the sprint. A native of Khabarovsk Territory, Bekh played for the Ukrainian team in the World Cup in the 2020/21 season. In April last year, she was kicked out of the national team. A source told Metaratings.ru on Thursday that Beh could return to the Ukrainian national team.
“Frankly, we have lost contact with her since November,” Lopukhov told . – How it was: Katya in August, during her collection at the Seminsky Pass, had sinusitis. She took a course of antibiotics, after which everything was fine. Then, after competing in the Commonwealth Cup in Raubichi and a short vacation, we went to Aldan, that was in October. The weather was fine, there was a lot of snow. I left home on November 3, and on November 8 she moved from there to Khanty-Mansiysk. I had to go see her, she called and said she was sick again.
In fact, I haven’t been anywhere else. Once in November I came only to Tyumen, but for a few days. All this time, Katya did not play anywhere. She further informed me that she had taken time off until May to fully recuperate. So no answer, no hello. She didn’t even respond to my New Year’s greetings. In fact, our connection has been down since November. Aleksey Viktorovich (Nuzhdov) told me that Katya will be operated. She arrived again weak, she had health problems.
Did your training plan suit him?
– There were no complaints about the training process. That’s not quite the case here. She had personal problems, her return to Russia, as well as her health, played a role. And there was no time for training, because she was constantly sick.
