President of the Russian Biathlon Union Viktor Maygurov said that the RBU can only take into account the decision of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) not to allow the national team of Uzbekistan to the Commonwealth Cup, as this may affect the admission process for national athletes at international departures.
The new season in Russia begins in Sochi, where the first stage of the Alfa-Bank Summer Biathlon Cup will take place from September 5 to 12. The competition will bring together Russians and Belarusians, suspended from tournaments under the auspices of the IBU.
– We have a young generation growing up, we are waiting for what level of training they will show at the next start in Sochi. I’m sure it will be a great season opener.
As for the participation of Uzbek athletes, we turned to the IBU to coordinate the performance of this team at the Commonwealth Cup in Sochi, but we were refused. We take into account the constitution of the IBU and cannot ignore the rules adopted, because in matters of reinstatement, these points can also be taken into account. There was no request from China, they do not have so many biathletes, ”reports the correspondent of in the words of Maigurov.
