Members of the coaching council of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) considered all possible options regarding the venue of the competition for the new season, but they did not find a better place than Khanty-Mansiysk in November, said Vladimir Bragin, head of the coaching council, told .
The 2024/25 winter season will begin in Khanty-Mansiysk on November 21 with the Commonwealth Cup stage. Then two stages of the Russian Cup will take place in the same place.
— Are three stages in Khanty at the start of the season too many, knowing that there may be cancellations due to frost?
— Well, okay, where will there be snow at that time, besides Khanty-Mansiysk?
— In Tyumen?
— In Tyumen, the skiers took everything. Creating a calendar has many pitfalls. Naturally, they have changed all the available options, but for now this is the option.
– Is it final?
– Yesterday we took it as a basis. It’s not yet clear what will happen to the Union State Championship. If everything is clear by mid-April, perhaps we will meet in Murmansk and decide everything. They set the deadline for April 25,” Bragin told .
