Biathlete Valeria Kayumova (Vasnetsova) will miss next winter season due to pregnancy, women’s coach tells Russian team Mikhail Shachilov.
In July, reported that the biathlete was expecting a baby. Vasnetsova once married biathlete Rustam Kayumov.
The last two seasons Vasnetsova was part of the Shashilov group, but before the start of the new season she switched to self-training in the regional team.
I saw her at the airport yesterday. Slightly pregnant. She is here (in Tchaikovsky). God forbid, everything will be fine, she will become a mother. This season, of course, she misses. It is more important now to become a mother,” Shashilov said.
Last season, Vasnetsova took 40th place in the overall World Cup standings. She missed the Beijing Olympics because of the coronavirus.
