Russian national team coach Artem Istomine told that summer competitions are not what his biathletes prepare for; during this period they must restrain themselves to show good results in winter.
Last week the summer stage of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup took place in Sochi.
— Summer competitions are not the competitions we prepare for – our season is long. From last year’s experience, we understand that in summer you need to hold back a little in order to feel good in winter.
— During the men’s mass start, six Belarusians placed in the top 10. Where are our collections?
— It is clear that the guys from the “Union of Three Biathletes” (Anton Babikov , Alexander Loginov And Alexander Povarnitsyn — note) ok, they withdraw the team. Of course, this can only upset us, but this is the summer stage, everything will be visible in winter. Karim (Khalili) did not participate in the mass start, because two races after an illness are difficult for him, three races are too many, especially at altitude,” Istomin told .
The Alfa-Bank Russian Summer Biathlon Championship begins on Saturday in Tyumen. All races will be broadcast live on the channel and broadcasts will also be available on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
