Former head coach of the Russian national biathlon team Anatoly Khovantsev told the attitude to the transition of biathletes Karim Khalili and Daniil Serokhvostov from the group of Yuri Kaminsky to the group of Artem Istomin.
– I don’t think it’s good when coaches start pushing their heads against each other. I see Kaminsky worked pretty well. Perhaps other moments prompted the same Serokhvostov to leave. Not exactly the welcome, mixed group. Yes, Yegor Sorin both train in skiing. But that’s biathlon.
I still don’t appreciate the situation where juniors without selection went to the IBU Cups last year. However, it is important for the development of the regions, so that they aim to prepare the athletes for the IBU Cups. As a result, our results there weren’t very good,” Khovantsev told .
– They say we don’t have so many juniors now.
– I read an interview with (Vladimir) Bragin. It seems to me that such statements cannot be made, that we do not have a single healthy daughter. It’s like telling all the girls you have no prospects. I think it’s badly done. The task of the coaches is to bring the service to the maximum level.
Yes, not everyone can become an Olympic champion. But while the preparations had not yet started, they said in advance that there were no healthy people… It was not said that there was no one to prepare . But the context of this statement is such that there is no one to work with.
