Double Olympic champion in biathlon Dmitry Vasiliev calmly perceives the probable transition of a biathlete Daria Virolainen to the Finnish national team.
Earlier on Monday, Virolainen’s former personal trainer Leonid Myakishev told that the biathlete could start playing for the Finnish national team.
– I don’t think it’s worth being categorical about Daria Virolainen’s decision and calling her a traitor. Each person is free and free to make their own decisions.
I think it’s a matter of Daria’s internal attitude towards her homeland. If she played for Belarus or Ukraine, her transition to the Finnish team was perceived more calmly. But given that Daria is Russian and Finland is aggressively opposed to Russia, everyone has a question about Virolainen’s morals.
This is Daria’s personal decision, which she is able to make on her own, without our help. You should in no way blame him! Will the national women’s biathlon lose something after the departure of Virolainen? Barely. Daria hasn’t played at a high level for a long time and doesn’t show the speed and shooting she had before. I think she won’t be able to compete with our other girls,” Sport24 Vasiliev quotes.
On Sunday, Virolainen took second place in the 15km individual race at the Finnish Summer Biathlon Championships.
