Biathlete Ilnaz Moukhamedzyanov told that he learned about the Russian national team’s salary situation a few days ago and that there is no solution to the problem at the moment.
Earlier, commentator Dmitry Guberniev said that Ilnaza, as well as Larissa Kuklina And Evgenia Emerkhonova was not on the national team’s payroll. Later, the head of the RBU coaching council, Vladimir Bragin, explained to that such a decision was made based on the criteria of the organization which these athletes did not meet. Last season, Mukhamedzyanov became the Russian champion in the 15 km mass start.
– How were you told that there were no national team bets for you?
– Yesterday I decided to ask Rostovtsev directly about the criteria for sports betting in the CSP, to which he replied that the number of bets is limited. And according to the criteria, I do not pass. I would like to tell you the backstory: even at the start last season, the coaches told us that the competitions in Izhevsk and Chaikovsky would be the main ones, because in terms of timing they simulate the World Championships and the Olympic Games. It was for these departures that all the groups were preparing. These departures formed the basis for the formation of national team rosters and additional pay.
– Have you communicated with Kaminsky? What he says?
– I spoke with all the coaches, explained the situation, at which Yuri Mikhailovich expressed his indignation. He added that with all the coaches they only discussed national team rosters. They did not discuss lists of who would be paid. As I said, I spoke with Rostovtsev, he added that all the coaches are aware and have information. And the fact that they didn’t defend me is the mistake of our coaches, and then no one can help me anymore.
Until May 24, I was absolutely sure that everything was in order with my bet, that there would be a salary, that I would train as part of the national team, because at the pre-arranged starts I became champion , silver and bronze medalist. And just on the 24th, Evgeny (Emerkhonov) said that we were not on the lists, after which I started calling and finding out what happened. This whole story lasts four days, but there is no progress. Yesterday I asked Pavel Rostovtsev where I should go next, because I went through all the instances: SBR, TsSP – well, where? Who will help me? The response was: “I don’t know, I can’t help you,” Mukhamedzyanov told .
