The coach of the Tyumen region biathlon team, Maxim Kugaevsky, told that the Russian biathlete Ksenia Schneider from next season she will compete for the Belarusian national team, since she married Belarusian athlete Maxim Voroby.
Schneider spent last season as a member of the Tyumen region national team.
– Of course, it’s a big loss for us. We expected that Ksenia would play for Tyumen for another season before receiving citizenship and only then joining the team of a friendly country. But after a meeting between Ksenia and Maxim with the president of the Biathlon Federation of Belarus Andrian Tsibulsky, the young people decided to be urgently transferred. We have known Andrian closely for many years, yesterday we held negotiations with him and it was decided to release Ksenia from the Tyumen region team without preconditions or compensation. But hoping for cooperation,” Kugaevsky told .
Schneider is 24 years old; last season the athlete did not win prizes in individual races.
