Executive Director of the Russian Biathlon Union (RUB) Alexander Pak On , he said that regional federations are facing big problems related to the lack of quality ammunition.
Earlier, Anton Babikov, having made eight errors during the mass start at the YANGPUR Cup of the International Club Biathlon League in Khanty-Mansiysk, told that he was ready to end his career if the The trainer couldn’t find suitable ammunition for him.
— In the national team there are no problems with the cartridges in terms of quantity, but in terms of quality there are problems, but they have always been there. Perhaps it is now more difficult to photograph them, to select them from what remains available. It has become more difficult, but there are no questions in terms of the number of questions.
— What type of cartridges does the Russian team use?
— During competitions with foreign cartridges, during training with domestic cartridges. More old stock – 2000s, 2010s.
The regions really have big problems, and the biggest problem is the flooding of junior and youth sports. We periodically meet with representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and try to resolve this issue. Unfortunately, things are moving very slowly so far. The problem should only be solved with Russian cartridges. Produce more and better quality here. Because foreign cartridges are expensive. Even if we try to import them via parallel imports, they turn out to be very expensive for children’s and youth schools.
We can help the manufacturer, advise them, give advice, etc., that’s the only way. This is not our prerogative or our area of responsibility. We periodically raise these issues at inter-ministerial meetings, but so far, unfortunately, the issue is difficult,” Pak said on .
