Biathlon historian and RRF media manager Konstantin Boytsov explained which president of the organization can be called the best in history based on a combination of factors.
Tikhonov is the element in all its glory. The wind is blowing, and if the sail is set, it will carry the waves away, and if something goes wrong, it will cause a lot of trouble, which has happened most often. The person did not know restraint before and does not know it now. The laws that guided him only worked in his head. If it happens now, it will not even appear in the information field in time, the competent authorities will be immediately interested.
There is such an opinion in the biathlon environment: “If a person did not have time to quarrel with Tikhonov, then he is not a specialist of such caliber.” Everyone at least once, but argued with him. Strongly, to terrible accusations, stuffing in the press. Calling Tikhonov a wise leader doesn’t turn my tongue. We must pay tribute to his authority and his charisma, but he is not a competent manager, let alone a talented coach.
Prokhorov’s team tried to restart – the system did not succumb, simply absorbing the funds. Prokhorov said you have to be a bit quicker than Wednesday because he drags on and doesn’t like sudden movements. It was not very successful to agree with the environment. Prokhorov’s era was good because they tried biathlon as a popular, spectacular and popular sport. But many mistakes were made: the figure of the coach was completely excluded from the process, a series of doping cases were not stopped. I do not agree that Prokhorov was not up to biathlon. Until 2012, he was actively interested, attended competitions, delved into details. Moreover, interest was lost, and Kushchenko was fully responsible for the process.
As soon as Prokhorov’s time ran out, everything was rewound. And I wouldn’t say Kravtsov was wrong about that. Under him was the least confrontational era. No one argued with him, he knew how to negotiate with everyone,” Boitsov told .
Alexander Tikhonov In 1995-2008 he led the SBR, he was replaced by Mikhail Prokhorov (2008-2014), then the organization was led by Alexander Kravtsov (2014-2018) and Vladimir Drachev (2018-2020). Now the president of the RBU is Viktor Maygurov.
On June 23, the election of the head of the Russian Biathlon Union will take place. Maygurov and RBU Vice President Alexei Nuzhdov submitted their candidacies for the post.
