Russian national team biathlon coach Sergei Bashkirov said in an interview with what he expects from the future unification of the centralized training groups.
From July 1, the training groups of Bashkirov and Yuri Kaminsky will be united and will continue to train in the same places. Kaminsky will assume overall methodological direction.
– Analyst Dmitry Shukalovich left you for independent coaching with juniors, your group from July 1 is logistically and methodically united with the group of Yuri Kaminsky, he will be the main one. Not the smoothest option. Did it hurt you?
“There are pros and cons to any change. I hope there will be more benefits.
– Under Shukalovich, the methodological preparation of the group was suitable for the leadership of the RRF. After his departure, Kaminsky was required. Where is your role here? It always seemed that the head coach was responsible for the sports ideology and not for the organization of the processes.
– In previous years, the head coach of the group really made a training plan and was responsible for its methodical implementation. Dmitry Shukalovich, as a specialist who has worked with different teams and has extensive experience, helped develop plans, Bashkirov told .
The Bashkirov group includes biathletes Tomshin, Povarnitsyn, Kolotov, Bazhin and Domichek. Tsvetkov, who previously trained with Bashkirov, has already joined Kaminsky’s squad and is preparing for the season under him.
