“” commentator Dmitri Guberniev said he equalized the omission of the second stage of the Commonwealth Cup Alexander Loginov not so much with the health of the biathlete, but with the lack of motivation.
Former national coach Russia Sergei Bashkirov told that Loginov would not take part in the Belarusian leg for health reasons.
– Loginov is there, he is training, but since the main departures are in winter, I understand the decision to save myself a little. It is clear that the health of an athlete comes first, but, in any case, we see today that a significant part of athletes in both biathlon and skiing miss summer competitions. I associate this not only with the state of health, but also with a drop in motivation. That’s absolutely correct. The international season says goodbye (for now). It is clear that people will show up in Russia. Biathletes, like athletes of other sports, are lucky, because there will be cash prizes, in general, people can stop actively participating in skiing, because it makes sense to run if they do not pay money for it. Cash prizes are needed not so much to support leaders as to support young people who can earn money. Therefore, the situation is difficult, one way or another people will lose their motivation, one way or another the sport will fade in this direction. We need to get maximum attention so that we don’t let the sport die out by supporting first teams, youth, juniors and youth,” Guberniev said in a chat with .
