“Since the beginning of the summer, we have not been able to restore it. It is not yet very clear what the reason is ”- coach about Mironova

The coach of the Russian national team Artem Istomin spoke about the condition of the biathlete Svetlana Mironova on the eve of the new season.

— Svetlana Mironova will miss the PARI Commonwealth Cup in Sochi.

“Since the beginning of the summer, we have not been able to restore it. It is not yet clear what the reason is. She has an inadequate response to stress. We see this in various tests and surveys. Plus, she herself says that she has been training for two days and cannot withstand the load. Although from our composition, this is just the person who must withstand any load. It is the most functionally prepared. We definitely need to quickly correct its work. We must not forget that she was at the Olympics, for which she had been preparing for a long time both mentally and physically. In Beijing, she showed the maximum. If we want to see her at the next Olympics, we need to give her the opportunity to restore her health.

– According to the description, the situation with Mironova is similar to the one that happened earlier with Matvey Eliseev.

– Not certainly in that way. For Matvey, it was more connected with the training process, while Svetlana had both covid and chickenpox after the Olympics. All this had a negative impact on how she carries the load.

Is she psychologically all right?

“Psychologically, she was tired a long time ago. The hardest season, which included the Olympics, had an effect. I can see from those who were at the Games that they are busier than others. In order not to lose them, you need to give time to recover, ”RIA Novosti Sport quotes Istomin.

The Commonwealth Cup PARI stage in Sochi takes place from 25 to 28 August.
