President of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBR) Viktor Maygurov told that when he was an athlete, he played hockey in training camps, pointing out that hockey players never decided to try their hand at biathlon.
Maigurov is a two-time Olympic bronze medalist and three-time world champion. He retired in 2003
— Biathlete Latypov said earlier that he wanted to change places with the footballers: they would ski and shoot, and Eduard would play football. Is media activity important?
— Athletes must be media, not closing in on themselves, but communicating with supporters and the press. Some in jest, others seriously. If footballers want to try biathlon, welcome!
When I was training, the Ak Bars hockey players were with us at a training camp in Finland, and our coaches agreed that they would give us uniforms and we would shoot the puck in the equipment from the Kazan club. It was wonderful. We also invited hockey players, but they did not come to shoot,” Maygurov told on the sidelines of the “Russia is a sports power” forum in Ufa.
