Coach of the Udmurtia national team Konstantin Vezheev told that the biathlete Alexander Kornev who won the big mass start of the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship in Tchaikovsky, saves the sport in the region.
Kornev won gold in the men’s general start race on Sunday. At the Commonwealth Cup stage in Minsk in January, the biathlete took second place in the sprint and third in the pursuit.
— Can we say that Kornev saves the Udmurt biathlon?
– You can say it, it saves – yes. In principle, it grows before our eyes. The most important thing is that he is growing psychologically, a lot is demanded of him in the Russian national team, so he is beginning to realize his potential. We will say that yes, it saves us, even if we only have a team of four people.
— Has he grown a lot in these six months since the start of the season?
— Let’s say he grew up in terms of psychology. Thanks to the national team coaches for this, they really work closely with him. Thanks to Edik Latypov, because he has a great influence on Sanya as a team leader. Sasha grew up, but her December was very weak. He could have shown results there, but the disease made its own adjustments,” Vezheev told .
