Biathlete Evgeny Emerkhonov told that all athletes who will participate in the PARI Cup of the International Club Biathlon League (MLCB) are thinking about prize money.
The races of the first MLKB Cup will take place in Khanty-Mansiysk on November 18-19. For victory, athletes will receive one million rubles.
— Have you accelerated your preparation for these competitions?
— When we were in Aldan, I was sick, so preparation for the season was unclear. After Aldan, I didn’t go to Seminsky Pass with the team, but stayed at home. I went to the ENT, they prescribed antibiotics. After finishing the course, I went to Tyumen to prepare with the Tatarstan team. There was no forcing of preparation.
— For you, are these competitions a control training or a little more?
— No, it’s like the regular competitions that will take place later in the season.
— Have you asked your teammates about prize money, do you think about it yourself?
“I think everyone is thinking about it.” Everyone strives and wants, especially since the money is quite large. Win a million in a single start. When I win, I’ll already be thinking about what I’m going to spend it on. Of course, I would like to invest it somewhere. For example, in an apartment.
— If the second stage of the MLKB Cup takes place in Ufa in December, will you go there?
— 100%, it seems to me that the development of club biathlon is fantastic. If I am ready, I will definitely go,” Emerkhonov told .
