The Spoon Museum is a well-known landmark of the Perm Territory, founded in 2003. Spoons from 83 countries of the world of various shapes and purposes from various materials are presented in thematic halls.

— Have you been to the spoon museum in Nytva? the athlete asked under the posted photo in his Telegram, accompanying the question with a laughing emoji and the emoji of the mentioned cutlery.

“Good oars,” one of the users laughed.

– Clean-shaven … Sergey, but what about the beard that you were going to grow? another asked.

– Tsar. Just a Tsar,” wrote a third.

Presenter and commentator Dmitry Guberniev on Match TV reported that the International Biathlon Union (IBU) refused the accelerated procedure for considering the claim of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) to CAS regarding admission to international tournaments.

On December 11, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that the organization’s executive committee recommended that international federations not limit the access of athletes from Russia and Belarus to youth competitions in both individual and team disciplines. In addition, Russian and Belarusian athletes are allowed to compete at tournaments under national symbols, with the flag and anthem.

— Sergey Averyanov (head of the press service of the SBR) reports that the pests from the IBU refused the expedited procedure for considering our claim in CAS. We sent a separate request to the IBU regarding juniors and juniors. Will the federation listen to the International Olympic Committee, which recommended the return of young Russian and Belarusian athletes to international competitions? In other words, will the IBU be against our children? “This will be interesting,” Guberniev said on Match TV.
