President of the Bashkortostan Biathlon Federation Maxime Tchoudov told that the renovation of the Ufa stadium hotel will be completed by the fifth stage of the Russian Cup, which will take place from February 29 to March 3, 2024.
Before the start of the Commonwealth Cup stage in Ufa in December, biathlete Natalya Gerbulova was outraged by the living conditions in the stadium hotel, after which the director of the complex, Viktor Nikitin, told that the athlete was promoting himself on the situation.
— Will the hotel renovation be completed for the new stage?
– I think it will be over. There are minor imperfections and roughness. In any case, we will come and see. It’s not that it won’t happen again, it shouldn’t have happened. It is necessary to accept athletes in ready conditions. To my knowledge, and this is what everyone exaggerates, the athletes knew the conditions that prevailed at the hotel. Representatives of the Ministry of Sports of the Republic of Bashkortostan also knew about it. Apparently they knew what they were getting into. They will draw conclusions and correct errors.
— How did you react to this media hype?
– He who does nothing makes no mistakes. All noise is PR. For some, it’s a thorn, for others, it needs to be paid attention to.
“It is unlikely that the girls would have wanted to promote themselves in this way. » They just wanted to live in better conditions.
– No, I’m not talking about that. But I repeat: if you walk into a hotel room and something doesn’t suit you, you won’t stay there, will you? I don’t know all the subtleties, so I won’t blame or defend anyone,” Chudov told .
