President of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBR) Viktor Maygurov said that the Russian team is preparing to participate in the 2026 Olympic Games, but it is better to focus on 2030.
The Winter Olympics will take place in Italy in February 2026.
– Each cloud has a silver line. Without international competitions, it is possible to pay attention to young people, and that is what we are doing. I heard that some winter federations still have hope for 2026. But we called the program “2030”, that is, we are focusing on those who, in 7 years, will be the backbone of the Russian national team. I would like to suggest that we focus on this year when preparing for the Olympic Games. Of course, we are preparing to compete in 2026, and even this season, if we were allowed to. It’s just that the current generation is thinking about the 2026 Games, and we are already thinking about the next ones, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Maygurov’s words.
