Executive Director of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) Alexander Pak said that the organizers and jury of the first stage of the Russian Championship in Tchaikovsky do not have the task of freezing athletes, the decision on the super sprint will be taken on race day. .
From January 11 to 14, the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship will take place in Tchaikovsky (Perm region). On Thursday, biathletes are expected to begin super sprints.
— What criteria will you use to make a decision on tomorrow’s super sprint?
— This decision will be made by the jury. We can advise something or express an opinion, but the decision is made by the jury. Overall, it’s not just temperature that needs to be taken into account. It’s still humid and windy here. Didn’t you think that it was warmer here than in Khanty-Mansiysk, where it was only -18 degrees? It’s -26 here, but it’s warmer.
Of course, no one wants to freeze athletes, to be honest. It is not our task to “kill” all biathletes, as long as they run. The decision will be made tomorrow before the race,” reports a correspondent, according to Pak.
