Victory at the Russian Championship is a worthy end to the career of the Olympic biathlon medalist Evgenia Garanicheva Olympic champion, former coach of the Russian national team told Vladimir Alikin .
On Thursday, Garanichev and Victoria Slivko won the mixed singles at the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship in Tyumen. Earlier in March it became known that the current season was the last in the career of the 36-year-old biathlete.
“I knew this would be the last season for Garanichev. He prepared well for the Russian championship. It’s great that he did it today, he fought until the end, had a good result and won the gold. It also helped that the main competitors ran today in the mixed relay before the mixed singles.
I am very happy for my compatriot! We are from the same village as him – Novoilinsky, Perm region. I still support him. Garanichev ends his career with dignity and in style. Zhenya will also take part in the relay race.
Garanichev started out in skiing, but there weren’t many prospects. I offered to go to the biathlon, to the team of the Tyumen region in Kugaevsky. You see, the decision turned out to be correct, Zhenya became an Olympic medalist, ”Alikin told .
