Triple Olympic medalist Edward Latypov and world champion Anton Babikov will participate in the International Club Biathlon League Cup (MLCB), reports the tournament press service.
Alexander Babchin will also perform as part of the Bashkortostan national team at the MLCB Cup.
— When determining the composition for participation in the MLKB Cup, we were guided primarily by the ability of the athlete to show a good result. Today we have three – they will go to Khanty-Mansiysk. Overall, I think the idea of a club tournament is wonderful and innovative.
I hope this is the beginning of a reboot of everything Russian (the President of the Russian Federation called this on the sidelines of the Perm sports forum), and even world biathlon.
It is very important, in my opinion, that the new tournament seriously stimulates not only current biathletes who need to earn money, but also today’s juniors – they need to understand why they are training and about what they can count on when they become professional athletes. ” said senior coach of the Bashkortostan national team Viktor Nikitin.
The founders of the International Club Biathlon League were the regional biathlon club of the Moscow region and the Belarusian biathlon club. The main objective of the organization is to organize alternative competitions to the International Biathlon Union (IBU).
The channel will broadcast live the races of the first International Biathlon Club League Cup.
