Olympic medalist Svetlana Mironova told that she left coach Mikhail Shachilov’s group in the spring of 2022 because she had a “conflict with herself” and with someone else.
On Thursday, Mironova started for the first time this season. In the individual race at the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup stage in Izhevsk, she took 30th place, 7 minutes 13.9 seconds behind the winner Anastasia Goreeva and making six errors. Competitions in Izhevsk take place from January 18 to 21.
— Do you miss biathlon?
– Yes. Actually, I miss you a lot. I am very happy to have started in the individual race. I received the most positive emotions, although I understand that there is still a lot of work to do. I couldn’t handle the shots, but for now we’ll leave it to the first race of the season.
—Are you with Mikhail Viktorovich now?
— Yes, I work with Mikhail Viktorovich.
— How did this return happen?
– Good question. We just wanted to work with each other, so here we go.
— How did Artem Evgenievich Istomin take it?
– Alright. I think he’s very happy that I’m back. We are all gathered here for one thing: the result. Everyone will be very happy if I succeed.
— Why did you choose Shachilov?
— Because he’s my first biathlon coach. We have done a lot of things together, I think a lot of things await us, and also together.
— When you left him, wasn’t this story conflicting?
— I will say this: I probably had an internal conflict with myself, and not with anyone around me. After understanding certain things and resolving my internal conflict, everything became more clear and understandable to me. I had the idea to work with Mikhail Viktorovich, everything worked out as it should,” Mironova told .
In December, Mironova trained with Shashilov’s group in Sochi, although previously she had been part of Artem Istomin’s team since April 2022.
On Saturday, the program for the Izhevsk stage will continue with the men’s and women’s sprints. Watch live broadcasts of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup competitions on the channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
