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.

— 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.

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.
