Winner of the European Biathlon Championship Petr Pashchenko on , he joked about where biathletes could compete with distance skiers, and also expressed the opinion that representatives of both sports could compete in 10-15 km races.
– If we are talking about who will leave training the fastest, then definitely biathletes! On the way to the canteen, we also “put on” skiers, but at a distance with specialists in this sense it is difficult. Seriously speaking, you can only compete at “our” distances, at 10-15km you can compete. Sprints and long distances require different training, we still don’t work with such volumes.
Latypov, with his current preparation, will fight 100% for the top 6, I would not aim for the top 3, there are serious guys, there is a lot of competition in the ski team,” Pashchenko said on TV game.
olympic medalist Karim Khalili believes that over short distances, biathletes are able to outrun cross-country skiers.
— If we take the best skiers and biathletes, the skiers are still (faster), but there are good cross-country skiers who are not so strong in sprints, some biathletes can kill themselves in the 100-meter race. Everyone has their own strengths,” Khalili noted.
Cross-Country Skiing World Cup Winner Natalia Matveeva said that she would like to train with representatives of biathlon.
– I like how biathletes walk exactly under every step, their body is higher because of the rifle. It would be interesting for me to ride and train with them, I would learn something from them,” Matveeva added on .
