“It’s good that the biathlon races in the Chechen Republic did not take place, because we must pay tribute to the memory of those who died” – Povarnitsyn

The decision to move the sprint and pursuit races to the Alfa-Bank Russian Biathlon Championships in Tyumen was correct, a Russian biathlete said on . Alexander Povarnitsyn .

These departures were scheduled to take place on March 23 and 24, but were postponed due to the cancellation of sporting events following the terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk, near Moscow.

“It is good that the race did not take place, because we must pay tribute to the memory of those who, unfortunately, died.

Unfortunately, it is essential that we go two days without filming, because the Russian Championship is an event where we are already fully prepared. Some teams have a control run, because if you are loaded, then you have to release that energy somewhere,” Povarnitsyn said.

— The athletes were in the mood for racing. What to do if this is the case? No problem with that. We will organize two training sessions over these two days. We will make further decisions depending on the situation,” coach Alexander Kasperovich told .

On Friday evening, unknown assailants opened fire on Crocus City Hall. According to the latest data from the Russian Investigative Committee, 133 people died.
