The Ukrainian was unable to reach her peak form due to health problems in the fall
Ukrainian biathlete Daria Blashko ahead of schedule completed the 2023/24 season. This was announced by the senior coach of the Ukrainian women’s national team Nikolai Zots.
The coaching staff made this decision after the IBU Cup stage in Arber, Germany. Daria took 56th and 62nd places in two sprint races. In both cases, the Ukrainian lost to her fastest opponent by more than 4 minutes with pure movement on the track.
Let us remind you that Blashko got sick during the final stage of preparation for the season in the fall. At the first stage of the World Cup, the athlete also had health problems. Because of this, Daria missed all the remaining international competitions in 2023, performing only at Ukrainian competitions.
In the previous season, Blaško also missed some starts due to health problems. At the same time, the Ukrainian woman’s preparation was influenced by the full-scale invasion of the Russian army – Daria spent a month in Chernigov, hiding from Russian shelling in the spring of 2022.
