The Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) is the best federation in the country in terms of prize money paid to athletes in competitions, the organization’s president said. Viktor Maygurov .
The new season begins in Sochi, where the first stage of the Summer Biathlon Commonwealth Cup will be held from September 5 to 12. The competition will bring together Russians and Belarusians.
– We plan to keep the prize money at the same amount this season. For information: last year, 67 adult athletes took part in the awards, 111 juniors also received payments from the RBU. The total amount of payments for the season amounted to about 70 million rubles. Our prize money is less than what athletes would receive at the World Cup, but most of our athletes earned more last season than they could earn in international competitions
If we compare ourselves with ourselves and other federations, then the SBR is probably the number one in terms of the amounts paid to athletes in competitions, ”reports the correspondent of in the words of Maygurov.
