The Biathlon to School program and the provision of material assistance to the regions have helped to increase children’s interest in this sport, says the President of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) Viktor Maygurov .
– In biathlon, the growth of people involved, judging by the report of the Ministry of Sports. To what do you link, among other things, the fall of figure skating?
It’s difficult for me to speak for other sports. But as for our growth, we are implementing various projects related to biathlon. For example, “Biathlon at school”. More financial support. Our sport is becoming more and more accessible to different categories of people. For us, this is very important. Now there are many more comfortable sports, where you can practice under the roof, warm, etc. As for figure skating… I don’t know if those numbers are correct. For it to fall from 75,000 … This is a lot. Even I was into figure skating when I was a kid. This, of course, is one of the most popular in the country, it can also be seen on television, – the correspondent reports Maigurov’s words.
All the races of the stages of the Russian Cup and championship, the Commonwealth Cup of the last biathlon season were broadcast on the television channels of the match outfit.
