Four-time Olympic champion, former president of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBR) Alexander Tikhonov told how he remembered the three-time Olympic champion Anfisa Reztsova .
Reztsova died on Thursday October 19 at the age of 58. Earlier, Minister of Physical Culture and Sports of the Moscow Region Dmitry Abarenov told that Reztsova’s funeral should take place on Tuesday at the Troyekurovskoye cemetery.
— A great athlete, who became an Olympic champion in two sports, has died. He always treated her with respect, he is a capable and talented person. Her favorite word was “plow” and she always plowed, training with the men, without giving in to them. My condolences to all the loved ones, to the children who worthily represent the family in biathlon. Kingdom of heaven, may the earth rest in peace,” Tikhonov told .
Reztsova won gold and silver in cross-country skiing at the 1988 Olympics and also won three world championships. In biathlon, the athlete won gold at the 1992 (sprint) and 1994 (relay) Games, and also became a silver medalist at the world championships.
