The big biathlon family will be missed Nikita Porshnev who announced his retirement, the four-time European champion told Evgenia Burtasova .
On Friday, Porshnev, 27, a medalist at the 2019 World Championships, said on that he had decided to end his professional career.
— I know Nikita very well. If everything is like this, this athlete will be missed by the big biathlon family.
“You didn’t do well in the sprint either; your preparation for the season has been disrupted. Isn’t that offensive?
– Of course, it’s a shame. I want to fight equally with everyone, force girls to fight. But we are not robots: I got sick and there was nothing I could do about it. You see how something happened to Nikita Porshnev, how to Sveta Mironova. We cannot recover. Since childhood, we gave ourselves completely, we left all our health in training,” Burtasova told .
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.
