Russian biathlete Ekaterina Yurlova-Perkht On , she said she was starting to think about ending her professional career.
Earlier, the 38-year-old told that she plans to do a lot of things after the current season ends and then she might take a decision regarding her career.
— What has changed for you in one year? It’s clear you’ve been practicing, but what else?
— I trained to a lesser extent and became more involved with the children. I shouldn’t have been in Tchaikovsky, but to participate in the Spartakiad you need qualifications. I found out about it at the end of December and it was decided to go to these competitions, because they are held at the level of the Russian Championship, plus there is a team race. These are my first departures. Before that, in December, I had only managed to start three times. Now I feel very uncomfortable at a distance.
It turns out that because of my busy schedule, I spend a lot of time with the kids, I don’t have the full opportunity to prepare for the season and play throughout the season. While there is a desire and opportunity to support your region during the championships. Some people think we need to put an end to it. Now I take part in competitions and get immense pleasure,” Yurlova-Perkht said on .
In 2020, the biathlete interrupted her career due to pregnancy. The Russian Championship held this spring in Tyumen was the athlete’s first participation in the last two years. Yurlova-Perkht is the winner and silver medalist of the world championships.
On January 14, at the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship in Tchaikovsky, there will be large mass starts for women and men.
