Biathlon world champion Ekaterina Yurlova-Perkht told that competitions in the Race of Stars format also benefit the professional athlete.

Second place was won by Dmitry Malyshko and Olympic speed skating champion and State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova. The top three were completed by Andrey Makoveev and Nika Zhukova.
— I would like to express my deep gratitude to the organizer, because I believe that such races should take place as often as possible. Indeed, it is a unique opportunity to meet amateurs, professional athletes and people who are not directly linked to sport. It’s doubly cool that we became winners today.
— Are such races a plus for an active athlete?
— I think that any start is always a plus. And any participant here could impose the competition, because in such races everything is unpredictable, ”Yurlova-Perkht told .
The race took place in the form of a relay, each participant completed two laps and worked on two shooting ranges.
