Sergey Kolesnikov, managing partner of the TechnoNIKOL company, which sponsors the biathlon world champion Alexandra Loginova and is an investor in Ryazan Stadium, told how the idea came to hold a New Year’s biathlon race in their arena.
– The idea was expressed by Alexander Loginov during a visit to our stadium for a ten-kilometer cross-trail in early June. I took up the idea and asked Viktor Maigurov to think about the proposal. Victor also participated in the race and summer mass start of the summer biathlon at the Ryazan Biathlon Stadium, he is familiar with the infrastructure and management of the arena. He promised to think it over. In June-early July, a discussion took place on the issue of holding the Commonwealth Cup New Year’s biathlon race in Ryazan at a meeting in the RBU. The collective decision is positive.
The authorities of the Ryazan region agreed to organize international competitions. TechnoNIKOL, which I represent, has agreed to be the title sponsor. Next Friday, at the Ryazan Stadium, we are holding a trilateral meeting (SBR + region + TechnoNIKOL) to organize the competition and approve the organizing committee of the competition. The stadium is ready to receive guests (up to 1000 spectators).
As for television broadcasting, I don’t yet know the requirements that television people need. But the team and I are very responsible for solving problems and organizing with you (with ) a television report on the New Year’s biathlon race. I would be grateful if you would join the organizing committee and to give your requirements and advice for organizing a TV show, Kolesnikov told .
The New Year’s Commonwealth Cup race with the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes is scheduled for the end of December. The Commonwealth Cup is a separate tournament outside the Russian Cup, within its framework five stages are provided (two in summer and three in winter) with a prize fund and the possibility of starting for any team.
