Coach of the Russian men’s team Yuri Kaminsky in an interview with , he spoke about the transition of two leading biathletes to the training group of Artem Istomin.
Daniil Serokhvostov and Karim Khalili in the 2021/22 season they trained under Kaminsky, but on the eve of the 2022/23 season they joined the Istomin group.
– What didn’t suit those who didn’t want to work with you? Logically – heavy loads or communication difficulties.
– It’s no secret that Khalili did not want to continue cooperation with Maxim Maximov. Maybe for personal reasons, because in the shoot that Khalili just added, the statistics don’t lie. Given the difficult wind conditions of the season and the large number of starts, Karim’s progress is even greater than the figures show – 3%. And for elite athletes, 2-3% is considered a good increase. He had a decent percentage before, but now, according to the IBU website, Khalili finished the season 3-7 in the top 30 strongest biathletes in the world.
I tried to find a compromise, the athlete did not agree. Serokhvostov simply chased after his friend – an even more reckless step. Nobody killed them with charges, Khalili had less charges than Yegor Sorin, with whom he trained before me. Serokhvostov probably added some bulk, but not critically. Both were ready for work. In general, I am no less proud of medals than any athlete who trains with me has ruined his health.
