Executive Director of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) Alexander Pak told that the decision to hold prologues before the stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Tyumen will be made on Monday after discussions with the team captains.
The prologue is a pre-departure competition, organized for the first time by the SBR before the main competition program of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup, Championship and Cup of Russia in eight cities of the country. The first stage took place on November 28 in Khanty-Mansiysk, biathletes competed without rifles in the 100-meter ski event with elimination. Alexander Kornev won the men’s final and Anna Grukhvina won the women’s final.
“Tonight we will talk with the team captains. Let me remind you that we do everything of our own free will, so we will conduct a dialogue about what we will or will not have. Time whispers. Of course, we won’t force anyone to shoot or run in the cold.
— Since the Russian Cup sprints have been moved from Saturday to Wednesday, is there Thursday or Friday left?
— Most likely, it could be Thursday, because on Friday and Saturday, according to forecasts, maximum severity is expected. If we think about it, it will be Thursday,” Pak told .
Initially, the prologue in Tyumen was scheduled for December 5-6, but on Sunday the SBR press service reported that the sprint races of the main competitions in Tyumen were postponed to December 9-6 due to weather conditions.
