Head of the Moscow Region Biathlon Federation Alexei Nuzhdov on the air “” said that the biathlete Ekaterina Bekh who played for the Ukrainian national team, receives a lot of negative messages due to his return to Russia.
A native of Khabarovsk Territory, Bekh made his debut for the Ukraine national team at the World Cup in the 2020/21 season. In April of this year, the athlete was expelled from the national team.
– Katya is now with her personal trainer Nikolai Lopukhov at the Seminsky Pass. She is applying for citizenship, she did not have a Russian passport, and before finishing the question of obtaining her, she must finish the question of acquiring citizenship. It’s quite a long process, but it’s coming to an end.
Why did you choose the Moscow region? In fact, she is a regional athlete, we have known her for a long time, she is friends with our athletes. The Federation, for a number of reasons, may, in this difficult situation, authorize training at the expense of extrabudgetary funds.
Of course, Catherine gets a lot of hate. We communicate with her quite often, the team is very friendly. We are ready to provide assistance at any time. Now she is calmly and confidently preparing for the Commonwealth Cup, – Nuzhdov told the program “There is a theme!” on MatchTV.
The first leg of the Commonwealth Cup will take place August 25-28 in Sochi.
