Russian biathlete Nikita Porshnev Rushed towards the decision to end his career, his desire to be close to his family is understandable, but he also needs to think about how to provide for that, the host and commentator said Dmitry Guberniev .
On Friday, Porshnev took 106th place in the sprint of the second stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk. After the race, the 27-year-old biathlete, who was not part of the Russian national team, told that he had decided to end his professional career.
– Nikita made a very unexpected decision, perhaps out of emotion. It’s strange, of course, that the statement was made at the start of the season. The decision is hasty, taken at the wrong time, but the person chooses his own path and his own road. We will find out, I hope we will invite him to an interview and on the air so that he and coach Belozerov can explain what and how. I love Nikita, he’s a great guy, I’ve known him for a long time and we will miss him. Maybe he will change his mind?
Nikita is a loving husband and father, his desire to be with his child is understandable. But did he find a job? How will he feed his family? If you find it, there are no questions. If not, the solution is strange. Maybe there’s a deeper story there, not just family, but also health, something else.
— Yuri Kaminsky told that Belozerov was against Nikita leaving after illness, but Porshnev decided to run.
– If this is the case, then Belozerov is right. Porshnev missed the relay race due to illness, and it is not very professional to rush into the battle,” Guberniev told .
Porshnev is the 2019 World Championship bronze medalist in the relay race, the 2022 European Championship silver medalist in the sprint and the 2019 Universiade winner in the 20 kilometer individual race. The athlete has been married to biathlete Anastasia Morozova since 2019. In July 2022, a daughter, Maya, was born in the family.
Pursuit races will take place on Saturday during the second stage of the Russian Cup. The broadcast of the men’s pursuit race will begin at 09:35 Moscow time, and that of the women’s pursuit at 12:50 Moscow time. Watch live broadcasts on the channel, matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
