Finnish national team biathlete Daria Virolainen missed the World Cup stage in Oberhof due to illness, but overall she is satisfied with her results this season, coach Leonid Myakishev told .
This season, Virolainen, 34, is playing for the Finnish national team in the World Cup. She showed her best result in Hochfilzen, Austria, where she finished 35th in the sprint. Last summer, the biathlete trained under the guidance of Myakishev at the Seminsky Pass base in Altai.
“We will contact her, of course.” In the summer, she trained with me in Seminsky. He said it might be over, is that enough? She replied: “No. Since I was getting ready, I need to run. She ran, was 35th, 39th. Now I’m sick.
– What are his plans for the future? Is she herself satisfied with her performance?
– Certainly. She made the team. I think if you get into the top 40 at the World Cup, that’s already good. The only thing is I got sick, and it’s pretty bad. But she will run away, she is from the Reztsov family (Laughs).
— Will he go to the World Cup?
— You have to look at the state of health. And so, in principle, it happens and passes.
—Was Daria satisfied with her summer training at Seminsky?
— There was Larisa Kuklina, with whom they got involved. I knew it wouldn’t work right away. You have to step back a little to feel it,” Myakishev told .
Since 2016, Virolainen has lived in Finland permanently; as a member of the Russian national team, she won gold at the 2017 European Championship in mixed doubles singles.
