russian biathlete Anton Babikov told that he sometimes invests his own funds in organizing self-training camps, but the Republic of Bashkortostan provides him with significant help.
World champion Babikov, double Olympic bronze medalist Alexander Loginov and World Cup stage winner Alexander Povarnitsyn are undergoing pre-season training on their own. The group trains according to the plans of coach Dmitry Shukalovich.
Have you invested a large part of your money?
— In principle, I don’t have a lot of money to invest a lot (laughs). We buy sports nutrition, we pay extra to improve food at training camp, we can spend money on accommodation, fuel, etc. on the road. But all the same, the region provides me with very important help, without it, I would in no case have withdrawn these sums. They bring me a lot, so I can’t say, “Let’s give me better food. “We also have other regional athletes who also have to go to training camps. Loginov and Povarnitsyn spent more than me: some even spend all the expenses at their own expense. But they don’t complain,” Babikov told .
The summer leg of the Alfa-Bank Biathlon Commonwealth Cup kicks off in Sochi on September 7. All the races will be broadcast live by the channel, you can also follow the starts on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites
