Double Olympic champion Svetlana Ichmouratova told that biathlon would miss an athlete as good as Yevgeny Garanichev .
On Thursday, Garanichev and Victoria Slivko won the mixed singles at the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship in Tyumen. In March it became known that the current season was the last in the career of the 36-year-old biathlete.
— 36 years is a small bell. Previously, at 27 years old, an athlete was considered an “old man”. It’s a shame to part with an athlete of this level. Zhenya always kept us in suspense in front of the TV screen, we could expect any surprise from her. I want to wish her all the best,” Ishmuratova told .
Garanichev is a 2014 Olympic bronze medalist in the individual race; he also has eight World Cup victories and three European Championship gold medals.
