Coach of Russian biathletes Sergei Bashkirov told in an interview with “” about why Maxim Tsvetkov kept the CSP rate despite achieving the necessary sports indicators for this.
Earlier, Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) coaching council chairman Vladimir Bragin said Bashkirov asked to keep Tsvetkova’s rate as a Beijing Olympics medalist.
– With all due respect to Maxim, the winners in Beijing have already been thanked. To what extent does financial assistance for past merits seem justified?
– From me, there really was such a proposal when discussing tariffs: to include Tsvetkov in the list as an Olympic medalist. Maxim did not have enough RBU rating for this, but he became the winner of the Russian championship and did quite well in the main starts of the season, although he did not have a preparatory phase in full share. Tsvetkov can show high results, there is no doubt. It was from these considerations that he left when he offered to keep his CSP rate,” Bashkirov said in an interview with .
The Bashkirov group includes Vasily Tomshin, Alexander Povarnitsyn, Ivan Kolotov, Kirill Bazhin and Oleg Domichek. Tsvetkov, who previously trained with Bashkirov, has joined Yuri Kaminsky’s squad and is preparing for the season under his supervision.
