Host and commentator Dmitri Guberniev in a conversation with , he regretted that the Russian biathlete Edward Latypov who is fit, cannot participate in international competitions.
Latypov became the winner of the sprint race at the last stage of the PARI Biathlon Cup of Russia in Tchaikovsky. On Friday, Latypov ran 10 km in 23 minutes 57.2 seconds with a penalty on the shooting range. Second place went to Daniil Serokhvostov, 38.5 seconds behind Latypov with a penalty. Third was Ilnaz Mukhamedzyanov (1 minute 1.5 seconds, two misses).
In February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended preventing Russians from participating in international competitions. In January 2023, the IOC announced that it would consider the possibility of admitting Russian and Belarusian athletes to world starts in a neutral status, who did not actively support the SVO.
– It’s a shame that we don’t see such a Latypov at the world championships, it would be nice to compare him to Johannes Be. Once again, the skill of Yuri Kaminsky is confirmed, he said that in February Latypov should be in perfect shape, and he is really close to it. Before the chase and the mass start, let’s see how Eduard will perform in these races, but it is impossible not to highlight his four consecutive victories, taking into account the Commonwealth Cup.
Kaminsky is a master at bringing athletes to the top of their game, his whole group looks good in motion. There are problems with shooting, Maxim Maximov (shooting coach – approx. “”) is working on it.
As for Latypov’s closest pursuer, Daniil Serokhvostov, he can compete, but he himself explained that allergies, colds and illnesses do not allow him to reach the highest level.
Khalili, who won the small globe in the sprint, is now experiencing the same issues that once haunted Shipulin. On the one hand, he is stable, but we want to see another Khalili. Karim is not yet able to reach the ultimate level of competition. From this beginning it is clear that the Bashkirov group, which was preparing for the height with the girls of the Shashilov group and the athletes Istomin and Naritsyn, slips a little. The key factor will be the race, which will take place at the weekend, but already now we can see a very interesting fight. The competition is cool, I, as a commentator, am very happy, Guberniev told .
Karim Khalili won the sprint classification at the PARI Russian Biathlon Cup. Khalili finished fourth in the sprint at the Russian Cup finals in Chaikovsky. After six races of the season, Khalili scored 239 points and won the sprint classification.
The last stage of the PARI Cup of Russia in Tchaikovsky takes place from February 16 to 19. The races will be broadcast live on the channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
