Coach of the Russian women’s team Mikhail Shachilov in a conversation with , he commented on the proposal of the Executive Committee of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) to extend the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes.
The executive committee also suggested that the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) and the Belarusian Biathlon Federation (BFB) clearly distance themselves from the conflict in Ukraine and prevent the involvement of athletes in the actions of the Russian army. .
“You understand what is happening. There is a special operation. Our cause is just, the enemy will be defeated, the victory will be ours. Everything will come back anyway. This year, we weren’t expecting too much. There is a possibility to work normally, to find a replacement. Our people are adults, three years from now there will still be losses. Someone will give birth, someone else will do something. Life goes on, it doesn’t stop at what’s happening now.
The IBU’s proposal is a betrayal of the country. I think it’s all in the past. Although, who knows? What kind of people are there today? Anything can happen, I recently met others. But I am completely positive. We have to work, search, dig, hope and believe,” Shashilov told .
On March 2, the IBU suspended Russians and Belarusians from participating in competitions under the auspices of the organization. On March 29, the IBU suspended the membership of RRF and ESB.
