Work on the Sochi stadium, which will host the opening stage of the Commonwealth Summer Biathlon Cup, is almost complete, the track will be as safe as possible, said Viktor Maigurov, president of the Russian Union of biathlon (RBU).
The tournament will take place from August 23-29. Biathletes from the national teams of Russia and Belarus will take part in the competition.
– As for Sochi, the Gazprom company carries out all the work related to the renewal of the asphalt roadway, as well as the construction of spoil, so that the route is as safe as possible. At the beginning of August, the final meeting of the organizing committee will take place, where we will take stock of the results. We have included these competitions in a single calendar plan. Yesterday I was also in Raubichi, there too everything is ready. We are confident that the work will be of the highest quality,” Maygurov told reporters.
– Athletes from the national team and regions will participate in the Commonwealth Cup. It is clear that the regions should evaluate the level of training of the athletes so that we do not have round robins. The teams will be called Russia-1, Russia-2 and so on. There will be no selection criteria for the teams. We didn’t think of that. Probably, who prepared with whom, he will play like that,” he added.
