“” host and commentator Dmitri Guberniev said he was waiting for the reaction of the President of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) Viktor Maygurov and the coaching body to choose the composition of the groups for the centralized preparation of the 2023/24 season.
Previously, the RBU published the composition of the coaching groups for the preparation of the 2023/24 season. Alexander Loginov, Anton Babikov, Svetlana Mironova and Viktoriy Slivko were not among them. Last season, Loginov and Babikov were part of Sergei Bashkirov’s group, Mironova trained with Artem Istomin, and Slivko was part of the Tyumen region team.
– So, the Russian Biathlon Union announced the compositions for the upcoming season, and there are still a lot of questions here. First, why was Anton Babikov not immediately hired for centralized training? Then they offered him the place of refusal of Alexander Loginov, who will work separately with Tyumen. And Babikov, of course, did not accept the invitation to join the national team with the motivation that this place was not Babikov’s, it belonged to another person.
Thank God the bands survived. And there is one group of Bashkirovs in particular, over which clouds were gathering. And the reaction in relation to young mothers is completely incomprehensible: Uliana Nigmatullina, Kristina Reztsova, Valeria Kayumova, who, by the way, did not go anywhere – and in relation to the same Svetlana Mironova, because here everything needs to be explained in advance , said, reported. And not to do everything in a hurry, when it is impatient because there is a commentator or the public begins to pressure the Russian Biathlon Union.
Bravo for inviting the young people: Oleg Domechek and Anna Grukhvina (a former skier) will work. But here, in any case, the questions remain, where and how to move forward, because the season is over, it is not clear what conclusions have been drawn, it is not clear where Russian biathlon is going. And how he will prepare for the 2026 Olympics, which we probably won’t go to, is also unclear, as athletes miss some Russian starts in order to better prepare for other Russian starts, simulating certain competitions. international organizations, the possibility of participating in them, although such a possibility does not exist and is not foreseen in the near future.
The most important thing is that he is an absolutely illegitimate SBR speaker, because here you want to hear from the coaches, Viktor Maigurov, what is happening in general and how. Because the questions of who is on the farm are paramount. There must be complete trust in a person, and a person must be truly self-sufficient. So we are waiting for the reaction from the coaching body and, of course, from the president of RBU,” Guberniev said on .
The next Winter Olympics will be held from February 6 to 22, 2026 in Italy.
