“I am very happy that everything built in Sochi for the Olympics will serve Russian sport” – Shipulin

Olympic biathlon champion Anton Shipulin noted that sports facilities built in Sochi for the 2014 Winter Games are still in use.

— All sports facilities built for competitions in Sochi were not lost and are still actively used today. It is no secret that in many countries, after events of such magnitude, the government abandoned the structures. But our President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said that the Olympic Games are not only about showing the whole world how good we are, but also about leaving behind a great legacy and using it. So I am very happy that everything that has been built serves national sport.

For example, the Laura biathlon complex, where we competed, is now not very profitable from a commercial point of view. But nevertheless, it works and continues to exist. And athletes can train there and stay fit. It’s great when there is such an opportunity, ”RT Shipulin quotes.

The Sochi Winter Games took place from February 7 to 23, 2014.
