“Belarusians and I should have one championship. We should have thought about its creation last winter.” – Guberniev

It is obvious that Russian and Belarusian biathletes should have a single championship; the creation of such a tournament should have been considered last winter, said the host and commentator of . Dmitry Guberniev .

A working meeting of the heads of the biathlon federations of Russia and Belarus – Viktor Maigurov and Andrian Tsibulsky – took place in Moscow. The main topic of discussion was the organization of the Union State Open Biathlon Championship, which is planned to take place in February 2025.

— Viktor Maigurov continues to go with the flow. Where was Viktor Maigurov when the anthem (of Belarus) was not played? We warned him, Viktor Viktorovich, my dear, now we need to anticipate the biathlon rapprochement of our countries. That is why I want to once again salute Alexei Morozov, a brilliant official of the Ministry of Sports, Viktor Maigurov, Alexander Pak. Guys, continue to actively build the biathlon union.

I had no doubts that everything was moving towards creating a championship between the two countries. But others did not understand it. And now they will say how much they loved Belarusians. Naturally, Belarusians and I should have one championship, this is normal. Viktor Maigurov is discussing this issue with his colleague, because this trend exists and he has received specific instructions. Although last winter it was clear that it was time to discuss this issue.

There are simply people who foresee it, and there are those who go with the flow. That is why I convey my warmest greetings to all those who did not let Belarusians in, who did not present medals, I will come personally, shake their hands and say a huge thank you on behalf of the brotherly Belarusian people. Well done! — Guberniev told the correspondent.
