World champion Anton Babikov told that the members of the athletes’ commission did not know that the leadership of the Russian Biathlon Union (SBR) had sent them a draft “on the procedure for selecting athletes for national teams” in order to express their comments.
Earlier, the vice-president of the RBU, Pavel Rostovtsev, in an interview with Metaratings.ru, said that he handed over the project “on the procedure for selecting athletes for national teams” to the athletes’ commission in order that she can express her comments, but no proposals. were received from them.
— In general, a lot of things from the SBR side seem very strange, and so far no one has commented on this. I read that the selection criteria were presented to the athletes committee in August, with until September 4 for them to comment. When I read this I came with a complaint to the guys at the athletes commission. But members of the athletes’ commission said it was the first time they had heard of this! And someone says that athletes don’t have time, they don’t do that, so the SBR itself determined the criteria. Guys, decide who is to blame?!
If three members of the commission did not know it and the others knew it, then the Athletes’ Commission has not completed its work and therefore this structure must take more responsibility. And if indeed none of them saw the selection criteria, then why slander? I don’t really understand this. I would like to say: when we train outside the national team, we look at all this with a smile. “Well give it to me, guys.”
Someone will say that we accelerated to these departures. Yes, we started skiing on November 4! And who accelerated for what? Have more fun and don’t mess with people who stress you out. And everything will be fine,” Babikov told .
The RBU Athletes’ Commission was approved on April 18 this year. It includes Tamara Derbusheva, Eduard Latypov, Ekaterina Noskova, Alexander Povarnitsyn, Karim Khalili, Maxim Tsvetkov and Ekaterina Yurlova-Perkht.
Babikov took second place in the PARI Cup pursuit race of the International Club Biathlon League (MLCB) on Sunday.
