Double Olympic champion Dmitry Vasiliev, in a conversation with , wished the biathlete Daria Virolainen remember your speed and rate of fire and become one of the strongest in the world.
Earlier it became known that Virolainen is part of the Finnish national team for the World Cup stages in Hochfilzen (December 8-10) and Lenzerheide (December 14-17). In August, the International Biathlon Union (IBU) granted Virolainen the right to represent Finland in international competitions in the 2023/24 season.
– Of course, I’m happy for Dasha. He is a very good person. And as a biathlete she also showed good results. Perhaps a long period away from professional biathlon will do him no good. But I sincerely wish her to get into this rhythm, remember her speed, rate of fire and accuracy and become one of the strongest biathletes in the world.
Of course, it’s not easy. And age takes its toll, as does a long absence from the top of biathlon. But maybe in the near future she will manage to narrow this gap and make us happy.
And the fact that she represents Finland… Her husband is of Finnish origin. She had to follow her husband like a real wife, so she went to live in Finland.
Our people still remain on the international stage. In principle, the world cannot exist without Russia, especially in the sports field. It’s just boring without Russia. They don’t even have anyone to vent their anger on. Previously, the Russians were responsible for everything, but now who? They now have the Norwegian ski championship and there will now be a biathlon championship. But the main thing is that our people stay there. “Everyone knows Virolainen is ours,” Vasiliev told .
Virolainen has lived with her family in Finland since 2016, but at that time she played for the Russian national team and, as a member of the team, won gold at the 2017 European Championship in mixed doubles singles.
