World champion Anton Babikov told that in the new season, athletes need to establish communication both with the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) and with journalists in order to bring the sport back to a positive wave, not only through results, but also because of the internal climate.
— “Open microphone” section: what topics and questions are you passionate about, what else would you like to discuss?
– I am interested in many subjects, but I have less need to talk (laughs). Here is what I will say: I hope that everyone will consider this Commonwealth Cup as a holiday, as the start of a new project. There are many departures to come, there is no need to treat these competitions like this: “What happens here, the whole season will be like this.” This year also showed it.
I hope everyone will listen to the same wave of friendship, that they will not dwell on who trained where, who worked and spoke with whom. It is not so important compared to the fact that we will only do one job. I hope we will have excellent communication with the RRF, with the journalists and with the athletes, so that we can do something interesting to give biathlon a positive wave not only because of the results, but also because of the internal climate. I think it can be done easily. I hope I’m not the only one who thinks so,” Babikov told .
The summer leg of the Alfa-Bank 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.
