Biathlete Daniel Serokhvostov told he suffered health problems after racing in severe frost last season, so this time he will think carefully before starting.
Previously, the press service of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) announced that the sprint races of the third stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Tyumen were postponed from December 9 to 6 due to weather conditions . According to weather forecasts, on competition days in Tyumen it will be -27 degrees Celsius.
— Last year we ran. It was quite painful to run. This year I will again think about whether to perform in very cold weather, because my immunity is not the best and allergic asthma does not help me either. Last year, after Uvat, I had difficulty breathing, although my lungs were clear. The feeling after these races was unpleasant.
– Now you will think again, whether you should run or not?
— If time is critical, then yes. In any case, the general classification of pursuits, sprints and mass starts gives nothing. Last year we thought there would be prizes for this, so we fought for it. This year there is no need to hold the Russian Cup at all. It is enough to go through the Spartakiad, the Russian Championship and qualify for the team. The Russian Cups are not as big as last year.
— Does the desire to run disappear?
– No. In principle, I like to perform, run, and it doesn’t matter what type of race it is. When we were suspended, we didn’t want to run because we were staying here. But now there are no more options to compete, so we are racing to the Russian Cup,” Serokhvostov told .
