Olympic relay champion Russian skier Tatyana Sorina spoke about the chances of domestic athletes to return to international tournaments.
– The probability of our performance at the World Championships in Planica is small. Hope remains, we are preparing for the main start of the season. It is better to think about what it will be. If you don’t think so, then what should you prepare for? Can FIS go its own way? I don’t think. It seems to me that everything will depend on the position of the IOC. Well, from some political decisions.
I’m one of the few who didn’t believe in suspension at all. I guess I didn’t realize at the time how serious it was. How will there not be a World Cup final in Tyumen? Yes, we’ve all been waiting for this! But we were first kicked out of the last stages of the World Cup, and then slowly and in general from all competitions. True, winter sportsmen have not yet fully felt the consequences. The World Cup starts at the end of November, and only when we do not go to Finland will everything become clear. But I am an optimist and keep hope, – quotes the words of Sorina “Championship”.

Metelya – about the mass start: “How can you be upset with third place if so many people came to support us”
Biathlete Victoria Metelya, on Match TV, noted the phenomenal support from fans during the 12 km mass start at the second stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Tyumen.
The mass start took place on Sunday. Metelya took third place, 21.7 seconds behind the winner Kristina Reztsova and making one penalty. Second was Anastasia Grishina (+13 seconds, 0 misses).
— You threw a bouquet of flowers to the audience, isn’t it a pity?
– Of course not. I would give everything to the audience, look how many people there are. How can you be upset with third place if so many people came to support us? I didn’t hear the clatter of poles or the sound of skis, because there was such a shout here, such support. “It’s just phenomenal,” said the biathlete.
Later on Sunday, the men’s mass start will take place in Tyumen. Watch the live broadcast of the race from 11:50 on the Match TV channel, and the broadcast will also be available on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.

The Russian Biathlon Union will resume Tyumen’s bid to host the World Championships, the head of the RBU, Viktor Maigurov, said on Match TV.
The last time the World Championship was held in Russia was in 2011, the tournament was hosted by Khanty-Mansiysk.
“We will renew Tyumen’s bid to host the World Cup,” Maigurov said on Match TV.
Russian biathletes have been suspended from international competitions since 2022 due to the conflict in Ukraine. On Wednesday it became known that the RBU filed a lawsuit with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to challenge the exclusion of athletes from Russia from competing under the auspices of the IBU.
At the moment, the venues for the World Championships are distributed until 2029 inclusive.
