Coach of the Russian national biathlon team Yuri Kaminsky told that Ufa stadium director Viktor Nikitin warned several months ago against renovations at the hotel and, on his advice, the team moved to another hotel.
The first races of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup stage in Ufa will take place on Friday. On Tuesday, several videos appeared on the GERGONOSKUDISKA Telegram channel, hosted in particular by Russian national team biathletes Natalya Gerbulova and Ekaterina Noskova, in which athletes complain about living conditions in a local hotel.
— Our team does not live at the stadium, we are in a hotel. This problem was resolved a long time ago when we booked (the hotel) several months ago. Nikitin explained the situation by saying that there was some renovation work going on here, which might not be finished by the start of the competition, so we had to check into a hotel, which we did on his advice,” Kaminsky told .
The second stage of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup will begin on Friday. Watch the live broadcast of the men’s sprint on the channel from 8:35 (Moscow time), the broadcast of the women’s race is scheduled for 11:40 (Moscow time).
