Coach of the Russian national team Alexey Shevchenko told that he would not call his wife Natalia the best biathlete in Russia, because this is a very strong statement.
Last season, Shevchenko won three gold medals at the Russian Championships in Khanty-Mansiysk. The 23-year-old former skier is the overall leader of the Russian Cup this season.
— On Thursday, Natalia fell in the individual race of the Russian Cup in Izhevsk. Were there no major injuries?
– Natasha regained her bearings after the fall. She didn’t damage anything, there were only minor abrasions. Friday I was already at training. Usually, when falling, the weapon breaks in the thinnest places, but, thank God, everything went well. Well, our gunsmith Ivan Titov fixed some minor details, so today he is in service.
— Do you consider her to be the best biathlete in Russia?
– No, it seems to me that this is said loudly. I motivate her to fight for all the points in every race. Motivation doesn’t disappear. There is no need to stop there,” Shevchenko told .
Shevchenko, who previously competed in cross-country skiing under the name Mekryukov, switched sports in the summer of 2022.
