“” host and commentator Dmitri Guberniev said the cross-country skier Anna Gruhvina a successful example of Natalia Shevchenko in the past season could contribute to biathlon.
Grukhvina was included in the extended list of candidates for the Russian biathlon team for the new season. Grukhvina won silver at the World Junior Championships in 2021 as part of the relay. Also on the athlete’s account are three gold medals from the Russian championships. Shevchenko, after switching to biathlon, won three gold medals at the Russian Championship.
– Good news, Grukhvina is a wonderful athlete, I think the example of Natalia Shevchenko helped her make the transition, who at the age of 22, after leaving skiing, made a powerful breakthrough, learned to shoot and won three gold medals at the Russian Championship this season. For many skiers, the transition to biathlon is a breath of fresh air, they can be successful. I wish Anna (Gruhvina) good luck, now it’s time to move on. So far, we have been suspended from international competitions, but when we return, I hope she can already compete at world level.
I would like to say about Yurlova-Perkht and Mironova, who were not on the extended list of candidates for the national team and will not be in central training. I am sure that the regions will not abandon them and they will continue to train in normal mode, especially since at present the concept of a national team is rather vague, Guberniev told .
All the races of the stages of the Cup and the championship of Russia, the Commonwealth Cup of the last biathlon season were broadcast on the television channels of the match outfit.
