Olympic bronze medalist Karim Khalili told that he injured his shoulder while training on a bike at one of the summer training camps.
Khalili trains independently in the off-season. A biathlete can also hold training camps under the guidance of the coach of the reserve women’s national team, Artem Istomin.
— In July you were in Tyumen. Tell us how and with whom you spent this internship?
— As planned, I organized a training camp with Artem Istomin’s group, and more precisely with him. Now he has young girls in his group, and I train according to a different program. I must have been a little late for the appointment because I got injured when I fell off my bike.
— Are you seriously injured?
— I injured my shoulder quite badly, so the last month of preparation had to be adjusted. It fell during training, or more precisely: when it was already ending. It turns out that my contact pedals did not come off in time. It’s a pity. And it often happens that such small things lead to problems.
— Did you manage to heal your injury before training camp?
— I underwent rehabilitation in Moscow and, having arrived at the training camp, I continued to work, so to speak, on the health of my shoulder. But even now I can’t train fully and a month has already passed. I can’t do many strength exercises and I can’t return to my previous weights. As for shooting, in July I shot only 2-3 times while lying down, because it hurts to lie on the mat and put the rifle in my shoulder.

— Is there any idea when the restoration process will be completely completed? And what do the doctors say?
– It’s hard to say. Some are inclined to surgery, but for now they have decided to start the season without surgery. Rehabilitation and recovery continue, every day it gets better and I hope I will be in full combat readiness for the season.
— Are there any risks due to the fact that you have not had surgery?
— If no unforeseen situation occurs in the form of a fall or something else, there should be no alarm. In the worst case, you will have to undergo surgery during the season, “Khalili told .
