Biathlete Evgenia Burtasova believes that the Belarusian team was offended because the team’s results were not taken into account in the official report of the Russian Championship races.
Burtasova, who participated in the mixed relay as part of the Novosibirsk region team, won the gold medal at the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship. The first to finish this race were the Belarusians, whose results in Russian competitions were not taken into account in accordance with the regulations.
“I am shocked to have become Russian champion in the mixed relay. I was in very bad shape and this race was the most difficult of the championship.
— Your team finished second, but in the protocol you became first, because the result of the Belarusians was not taken into account. What do you think about it?
— On the one hand, it’s not the Russian Open, but on the other hand, we understand that they are stronger than us. We didn’t write the rules, but it begs the question: why call them out if that’s the way it is? I think the guys were offended. But we still know that they were the strongest in this race, for which we thank them,” Burtasova told .
On Friday, a 30-kilometer women’s marathon will take place in Uvat (Tyumen region) as part of the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship. Watch the live broadcast of the race on the channel, starting at 7:35 am (Moscow time). You can also follow the marathon on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
