russian biathlete Ekaterina Yurlova-Perkht who visited Sergei Bashkirov’s training group in the Leningrad region, spoke to about his future career plans and expressed his condolences over the death of Igor Malinovsky.
The athlete attended the training of the Bashkirov group, which includes Anton Babikov, Alexander Loginov, Maxim Tsvetkov, Alexander Povarnitsyn.
– What are your destinies in Toksovo?
– Purely by chance. I discovered that the guys had an open formation and I immediately arrived. The fact is that just a day and a half ago I returned home to Toksovo after a long trip. I am very happy that there is such an opportunity – to see the guys, the coaches.
– How are you now?
– While I focus on myself, on my own health.
Are you going back to skiing?
– For now, I can’t say. If I decide on health issues, why not. But I don’t think so far.
– Is there a desire to return?
— He’s still there, in whatever state (smiles).
– Before the guys’ training in Toksovo, there was a minute’s silence in memory of Igor Malinovsky.
To be honest, I’m still in shock. And of course, my deepest condolences to the family. I still can’t believe it all ended so sadly for such a young man.
In 2020, the biathlete interrupted her career due to pregnancy. The Russian championship held in Tyumen this spring was the 37-year-old’s first start in the past two years. Yurlova-Perkht is the winner and silver medalist of the world championships.
