“Valeria entered the race early, she still had to train.” The coach of the Russian national team – about Kayumova’s debut after childbirth

Biathlete Valeria Kayumova (Vasnetsova) it was not worth returning to competitions so soon after giving birth, you still had to train and get in shape, the coach of the Russian women’s team told Mikhail Shachilov .

On Thursday, a sprint took place in Tchaikovsky as part of the final stage of the PARI Cup of Russia. Natalya Gerbulova won. After giving birth to a daughter in late November, Kayumova moved up to 38th, having had seven misses on the shooting lines and more than five minutes behind Gerbulova.

– It’s not for me to advise her, but my opinion is that Valeria left early – she still had to train. The first round she looked good, but then it was harder and, of course, she couldn’t cope with the shot. It’s like veterans starting out – the first two miles run like they’re young, then they get tired. So she had to wait a bit, but she will definitely succeed.

Valeria had a return goal, she felt the taste: she played at the World Cups, went to the Olympics. It turned out how it turned out. The main thing is that there is a goal and a motivation,” Shashilov told a correspondent.

The races of the final phase of the PARI Russian Cup will be broadcast live on the channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites. On Saturday, February 18, women’s and men’s pursuit races will take place, the broadcasts will start at 8:40 am and 11:40 am respectively (Moscow time).
