Double Olympic champion Dmitry Vasilyev called the first PARI Cup of the International Club Biathlon League (ILCB) a historic event for the development of the sport.
The mass departures for men and women took place on November 18 in Khanty-Mansiysk. Karim Khalili won the men’s race and Anastasia Goreeva won the women’s race.
– To be honest, I expected the worst. Many were afraid, everyone implied that the competition would be less, but we were pleasantly surprised by the first day. Damn, it wasn’t lumpy! This may sound too pretentious, but it is a historic event for the development of biathlon. We will continue to develop the format. Look, the time will come when currently hostile countries will participate in our format. I hope these countries will become friends one day. Why don’t Norwegians and Germans participate in our competitions? — The correspondent reports Vassiliev’s remarks.
On Sunday, pursuit races will take place within the framework of the MLCB, watch live broadcasts at 9:05 and 11:20 (Moscow time) on the channel.
