Bogaliy said she certainly wouldn’t have thought of changing her sporting citizenship due to her suspension from international competitions.

Double Olympic champion in biathlon Anna Bogaliy said that instead of Russian athletes, she would not think about changing her nationality due to non-admission to international competitions.

– I would work and certainly not think about the transition. I am a patriot of Russia, for me there is no other country. But among the guys I did not hear such conversations. Apparently, we always direct and target them correctly.

The most important thing is to give them confidence that we need them, that they are our generation of the future, that each of them is important to us. When they become aware of themselves as part of a big biathlon family and with some work they can progress, then these questions will disappear on their own,” RT Bogaliy quotes.

In September, the congress of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) extended the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes from competitions under its auspices.
