World championship medalist Nikita Porshnev On he admitted he would strive to make it to the Olympics.
On December 1, Porshnev took 106th place in the sprint at the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup stage in Khanty-Mansiysk. After the race, the 27-year-old biathlete, who was not part of the Russian national team, told that he had decided to end his professional career. Then the press service of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) announced that Porshnev would return to competition after a “short break”. Later, the athlete’s personal trainer Sergei Belozerov said that the athlete was recovering from sinusitis.
“It was very cold, it made my illness worse. After I finished, I realized that I had rewarded myself for my lack of professionalism. The coaches said it was better not to start, but I wanted to play in front of my fans, but it turned out the other way around.
We will strive to reach the Olympic Games. That’s a very high bar, but I think a bad athlete is one who doesn’t strive to go to the Olympics. For now, that’s my goal.
I have never experienced so much support, even during the biggest victory of my career. My forgiveness will be my result. Seryoga Ustyugov recorded a video for me and wished me to run more,” Porshnev said on .
