MOSCOW, January 13, Alexander Govorov. Head coach of the Russian women's team Mikhail Shashilov should be removed from office if the information about the violation of the regime is confirmed, said four-time Olympic champion Alexander Tikhonov. Earlier, Match TV said that the board of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) at the next meeting could consider replacing Shashilov before the 2022 Olympics in Beijing. However, the SBR denied this information. “If this is so, then this is a blatant disgrace. There are rumors all around that Shashilov is violating the regime, but I don’t know for sure. Again, if this is so, it is necessary to understand and remove the coach. how much there was left before the Olympics. I have always been for discipline so that there are no delays, and even less violations of the regime. Shashilov was persuaded to work with the Russian national team, because no one else wanted. I do not consider him a great specialist. Especially if you listen to his interview, you will not get an intelligible answer. Shashilov is not the level of the national team, «Tikhonov said.
