Biathlete Garanichev – about skipping the Olympics in Beijing: “He didn’t beat his head against the wall, but he was worried”

Bronze medalist of the Olympic Games 2014 biathlete Evgeny Garanichev spoke about his feelings about not being included in the Russian team for the 2022 Games in Beijing.

Last season, Garanichev took 113th place in the sprint race at the World Cup in Östersund, Sweden, after which he went to the IBU Cup. The athlete lost the competition and missed the main start of the season – the Olympics.

– I did not beat my head against the wall, but I was worried. After all, everything was fine in the summer, albeit with small reservations. And in the end, all the work done was in vain, because at the most crucial moment the body failed. This is life, this is sport, this is a coincidence,” Garanichev told the “Championship”.

Garanichev is 34 years old, he has one personal victory at the World Cup

    “We jumped to conclusions.” The SBR named the real reasons for postponing the men’s individual race at the Russian Cup stage in Tyumen

    Executive Director of the Russian Biathlon Union (SBR) Alexander Pak said on Match TV that the men’s individual race at the second stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Biathlon Cup in Tyumen was not postponed due to a power failure.

    The race will take place on December 12, starting at 10:00 Moscow time. The competition was originally scheduled for Thursday, December 11th. Earlier, the press service of the SBR reported that the race was postponed due to an accident in the electrical network supplying the lighting of the Pearl of Siberia complex.

    — Before all competitions we conduct TV tests. And we determined that the lighting on the track, unfortunately, is not enough for a high-quality TV broadcast. Therefore, we decided to postpone the start date. So that athletes can run in comfortable conditions, so that TV viewers can see a high-quality picture.

    – Are we talking about an accident? Technical solution?

    – Yes, at first we rushed to the conclusion. There is no accident,” Pak said on Match TV.
