Russian national team biathlete Alexander Povarnitsyn told that in the event of severe frosts in Tchaikovsky, the organizers of the Russian Championship will have to shorten the distance of the race so that athletes do not endanger their health.
On Friday, the executive director of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU), Alexander Pak, told that the Alfa-Bank stage of the Russian Championship in Tchaikovsky would not be canceled in advance, all decisions would be taken on site. According to the weather forecast, temperatures will be low on competition days.
In December, the stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Tyumen was canceled due to frost; the decision was made on the day of the first race, when all the athletes were already in place.
— I’m afraid there will be cancellations of races in Tchaikovsky, but it seems that the weather situation is returning to a little normal. Of course, I wouldn’t want the organizers to force us to risk our health and start in extreme temperatures. I would like to at least reduce the distance or sacrifice team races,” Povarnitsyn told .
