One of the main tasks of the President of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBR) Viktor Maygurov is to meet the financial needs of athletes, the host and commentator told Dmitry Guberniev .
Maigurov said earlier that contacts between athletes and the RBU had improved, but he was surprised that most of the conversations were about money.
— A very strange statement from Viktor Maygurov. His task is to ensure that athletes do not ask for money. While Maigurov is doing well financially, that doesn’t mean all athletes are in the same situation. Last season, the SBR had a huge budget and absolutely did not pay additional prize money to biathletes. And some were still not accepted for training.
So that Maigurov is not asked about money, the RBU needs to do more to support sports and especially athletes. It is clear that everything in the world revolves around money, people have families and children. For our part, we do our best, show biathlon. Please, SBR, negotiate with the sponsors, which is essentially what is being done.
I am glad that money is not the main thing in Maygurov’s life: he is a rich man, with higher education and occupying a high position. I say this without irony, I’m really happy for the management team, but we have to solve the athletes’ problems. I would like to advise Maigurov and the federation to do their job better, and in particular, I will help them in this, just as I help athletes,” Guberniev told .
The Alfa-Bank Russian Summer Biathlon Championship will take place in Tyumen from September 16 to 19. All races will be broadcast live on the channel and broadcasts will also be available on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
