Three-time Olympic champion Anfisa Reztsova in a conversation with , she expressed her disappointment that her daughter was a biathlete Daria Virolainen last season, she did not have access to international tournaments as part of the Finnish national team, despite having the nationality of this country.

Last season, Virolainen competed twice in Finland, where she has lived for six years. In September 2022, Myakishev told that the biathlete could start playing for the Finnish national team in international competitions.
– Frankly, I myself do not know why Dasha trains at her own expense. Probably no one holds a fee. I didn’t tell him about it.
In general, everything is fine, it’s only a pity that Dasha wanted to play for Finland last season, but she is not allowed, despite having Finnish citizenship. I guess because she is from Russia. She was considered for a long time, but in the end everything hung. Nevertheless, she is training hard and strong in hopes of continuing to compete,” Reztsova told .
Virolainen is European champion in the single mixed relay, the athlete has twice been on the World Cup podium.
