Belarusian biathlete Elena Kruchinkina joined the Tyumen region national team and will prepare for the new season in the Russian region team, the head coach of the Tyumen team told Maxim Kugaevsky .
Kruchinkina until 2018 played for Russian national team then, together with her sister Irina, she joined the Belarus team.
– Elena contacted me in May with a request to consider the issue of her transition. But at that time, all five vacancies in the women’s team were filled: Victoria Slivko, Ulyana Nigmatulina, Ksenia Schneider, Anna Grukhvina and Lyubov Kalinina were supposed to represent our team in the upcoming season.
It was then that we returned to the question of the transfer of Elena Kruchinkina to the regional team. I called Adrian Cybulsky, whom I have known for many years. He did not interfere with the choice of Elena, for which a big thank you to him! In July, Elena will start preparing for the season in our team. The girl is diligent and we rely on her a lot,” Kugaevsky told .
