Head of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBR) Viktor Maygurov said the Olympic medalist Edward Latypov which won the general classification of the organization at the end of the 2023/24 season, knows how to ensure the regularity of results.
Latypov won the overall SBR ranking at the end of the 2023/24 season, earning 1131 points. Karim Khalili (1034) took second place, Kirill Bazhin (919) closed the leading trio. Among women, the best in the SBR ranking at the end of the season was Natalia Shevchenko (1099 points), followed by Victoria Slivko (1066) and Irina Kazakevich (958). The SBR ranking took into account all competitions of the season: the races of the Alfa-Bank Championship and the Cup of Russia, the Commonwealth Cup and the Spartakiad of the Strongest.
— Latypov traditionally remains our leader. Sometimes he allows himself to make mistakes, creating intrigues and giving other athletes the opportunity to beat him. He knows what to do to be more stable. Edik is an example for young athletes. I sincerely congratulate him on this award and wish him to improve his skills.
Natalia Shevchenko’s second season shows how you can achieve sports results with a lot of desire and a lot of work. I wish him to continue to be the leader of our team and our biathlon family. There is a lot of competition in our sport; In every race, we don’t know who will win. It’s great that there is competition, ”reports a correspondent, reporting Maygurov’s words.
— The season was very difficult. This is due to the weather and the fact that the season was very long. I am glad that I tried, I am glad that I managed to win and confirm the status of the leader of the Russian national team,” said Latypov himself, who took part in the ceremony via video link.
