The RBU will resume Tyumen’s bid to host the World Championship, Maigurov said
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.
