Biathletes Ekaterina Noskova And Elizabeth Kaplina will take part in the Russian cross-country skiing championship, Daniil Serokhvostov And Karim Khalili won’t play, Russian national team coach told Artem Istomine .
Earlier, Istomin told that the athletes in his group have been admitted to the Russian cross-country championship, which will be held in the Tyumen region from March 18-26. Khalili, Serokhvostov, Noskova, Kaplina, Natalya Gerbulova, Anastasia Goreeva, Ksenia Dovgaya, Svetlana Mironova perform in Istomin’s group this season.
– Too much noise has been raised around this subject (laughs). For me, these competitions are necessary for the athletes to gain experience. Many of them have never done cross-country skiing. Someone spoke a long time ago and doesn’t remember. For us, a smooth race is interesting from the point of view of tactics and the technique of overcoming the distance. We have to acquire this experience in competition with skiers. We want to watch the best skiers, how they move along the course, how they position themselves, work with someone on the course itself. After all, this is very important for an athlete – when he stands behind someone, he understands how the opponent is moving, due to what he is doing. And so the athlete sets aside certain knowledge.
– Who in the end of your group will perform at the Russian Cross-Country Skiing Championship?
Guys, definitely not. And the races are numerous, and Karim Khalili plans to continue to run marathons. Daniil Serokhvostov only after an illness is not worth the risk. So far, Ekaterina Noskova and Elizaveta Kaplina are scheduled. RUS codes they received, there is an application for them, there should be no problems.
– Won’t the result in the race with the skiers be essential?
– Yes. We don’t challenge anyone or try to surprise anyone with anything. For me, the most important thing is that they have a positive experience. Either negative, but it is also an experience, it will also be beneficial,” Istomin told .
will broadcast the Russian cross-country championship (March 18-26, Tyumen region). Watch live broadcasts of the tournament on the federal channel and thematic channels of the holding, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
