Russian biathlon must evolve into new formats, said Dmitry Vasiliev

President of the St. Petersburg Biathlon Federation, two-time Olympic champion Dmitry Vasilyev shared his expectations for the development of biathlon in Russia in 2024.

“From 2024, of course, I would like to see our biathletes return to international competitions, but since today there is nothing to say in this context, I expect Russian biathlon to create new formats to continue the development of this sport in our country. “, he quotes the words Vasilyeva Legalbet.

He noted that a new format is the International Club Biathlon League.

— These new formats need to be further developed. Of course, with state support at first, and then moving to a purely commercial basis. Since these competitions must be professional, that is to say exclusively intended for commercial and advertising money. Our biathlon must evolve in exactly this direction. “All this will increase the motivation of athletes, so they will not even think about stopping their career,” Vassiliev said.

On Sunday, during the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup stage in Raubichi (Belarus), mass starts for men and women will take place. Watch the live broadcast of the men’s mass start on the channel on January 7 from 10:30 Moscow time, the women’s mass start from 13:35 Moscow time.
