Russian streamer Olga Ivanovna, known under the nickname i_olga on the Twitch platform, won the “Best Gaming Moment of 2025” category as part of the international NNYS award.

During one of the streams, a 77-year-old woman was able to create a so-called “ace” in the shooter Counter‑Strike 2 – the moment when one player defeats the entire opposing team. A video of this moment was widely shared on social networks.

The pensioner lives in Nizhny Novgorod. About 250 thousand viewers have subscribed to her channel.

The NNYS Awards annually celebrate significant moments and select the best videos across 16 categories.

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.
