Coach of the Russian national biathlon team Mikhail Shachilov in a conversation with , he explained his group’s non-participation in the PARI Cup of the International Club Biathlon League in Khanty-Mansiysk.
The first MLKB Cup took place this weekend and athletes received one million rubles for winning the race. Shashilov’s group did not come to the competition due to a training camp in Tyumen.
— If I have an event in Tyumen, I cannot exchange it for Khanty-Mansiysk. We are all adults, someone wanted to organize a competition and I had something to do with it. If they had agreed in the spring, maybe they would have started, but I have an event, the Ministry of Sports paid the money. Should I rush towards the ghostly million? We would be competitive, but we don’t need money,” Shachilov told .
Shashilov’s group includes Irina Kazakevich, Tamara Derbusheva, Anastasia Shevchenko, Natalia Shevchenko, Anastasia Batmanova, Yulia Sheller, Kira Dyuzheva and Anna Grukhvina.
