Olympic medalist Anton Smolski said that Russian coach Andrei Padin came to the Belarusian biathlon team at the right time.
Padin worked for the Belarusian national team in the 2021/22 season.
— At a very necessary moment, Andrei Padin came to the Belarusian team and presented his plan. Heavy, monotonous, complex. But which had consequences in the form of rewards. Apparently at that time, due to our youth, we all needed a charge capable of causing a jump. The main thing is that the body, including mine, was ready for grueling work.
Before starting work, we communicated with Padin for a whole year. He was not involved in our functional training at that time, he was a shooting coach, but he was constantly trying to pass on the necessary information to us. He explained to me why you have to train so much and hard, why an athlete should get tired of this work, what it gives. That is, he explained each training session, warning in advance what kind of state would be after. Often everything fell into place, so we believed in it,” Smolsky said, as quoted by RT.
