“Paschenko and Porshnev prepared for a long time, did not return home for about 40 days” – coach of the KhMAO-Yugra national team Altukhov

Senior coach of the KhMAO-Yugra men’s team Sergei Altukhov spoke on about the team’s preparation for the Alfa-Bank Russian Summer Biathlon Championship in Krasnoyarsk.

Earlier Saturday Pierre Pachchenko won the sprint at the Russian Championship. The biathlete clocked 23 minutes and 56.1 seconds, making a mistake at the shooting range. The second was Nikita Porchnev who lost 9.4 seconds to the winner (2 misses). Both athletes represent the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra.

— We prepared for a very long time. It paid off; they didn’t return home for about 40 days.

Pashchenko is very busy for the season. He has nowhere to retreat. The Olympics are close. Porshnev has prepared very well. I think he will show results this season.

The most important thing in competitions is victory, we will fight only for it,” Altukhov said on .

The Russian Summer Biathlon Championship will end on September 15.

The women’s sprint race will take place later on Saturday. Watch the live broadcast on channel from 11:40 Moscow time. You can also follow the race on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
