Double Russian champion in biathlon Natalia Shevchenko told that she was not going to return to cross-country skiing.
Shevchenko won gold in the pursuit at the Russian PARI Biathlon Championships on Tuesday with a penalty. For the former skier, this is the second victory of the current tournament, she had previously won the sprint. Before the start of the current season, Natalia competed in cross-country skiing under the name Mekryukova.
– Recently, you were saying that a number of skiers were afraid to take a step and go to the biathlon. Are there really many such people?
— From my environment there are some, yes. I can’t say for everyone, but many athletes have been skiing for years and can’t reach national team level. Why not try your hand at biathlon then? Well, that didn’t work – you can roll back. If you are a collection and you are going to go there, then Elena Valerievna (Vyalba) probably won’t like it (laughs). But in another situation, when we run for the region, why not?
Are you going back to skiing?
– No. Everything suits me here! – said Natalia Shevchenko “”.
