Biathlete Serokhvostov: “I don’t know why we need a system with a main team and a reserve team”

Russian biathlete Daniel Serokhvostov said he did not understand the decision of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) to return to training the main and reserve teams of the Russian national team.

In March, the RBU coaching council decided to introduce the main and reserve team format from the 2024/25 season.

— I haven’t really spoken about this subject to anyone, only with the old team. In fact, it seems to me that bringing together all the powerful into one group is a very old concept. Even if we take our skiers: there are several groups where there are leaders, and even without training together, the strongest athletes still progress. Skiers have always had that. I don’t know why we need such a system: let’s say, if they wanted to put me and Latypov in the same team, then Eduard and I do almost all the work separately, because our intensity is different, it’s that is to say there is no fight.

Do you feel more negatives than positives? I wouldn’t say that. It was just more comfortable for me to work with Karim Khalili as a sparring partner, because we have similar pulse zones, and in terms of lactate we worked the same way, that is, no one never left anyone, all the time. the work was together – both in the corners and on the track.

But here, it’s difficult to do that, because everyone’s intensity is different. If someone works with me, they will lose lactate. Sometimes it’s difficult to work with Edik, because he is more muscular and it is easier for him, for example, to lift the same cylinders. It was from the fighting point of view that I was better in the previous team,” Serokhvostov told Soviet Sport.
