MOSCOW, January 14, Alexander Govorov. Sports commentator Dmitry Guberniev stated that the absence of the head coach of the Russian women's biathlon team Mikhail Shashilov did not prevent the team from taking third place in the relay at the World Cup in Ruhpolding. It became known earlier that Shashilov missed the relay race due to illness and suspected coronavirus. However, according to biathlete Irina Kazakevich, the coach's test gave a negative result. «Shashilov was not, for example, at the race in Oberhof at the stadium when our team won. Today he was not at the stadium when we won the prize in the relay. Maybe then he doesn’t come to the track at all in the next races? Perhaps distance learning is bearing fruit. Maybe this is a new word in coaching? Noritsyn helps Kristina, Maksimov, Zagursky. And I wish Mikhail Viktorovich only health, «Guberniev said. The commentator also appreciated the performance of the Russian women's team in the relay, especially mentioning Kristina Reztsova. and Reztsova, who after the finish said that it was unrealistically hard for her. But she is the person who is aware of everything. She is such a wise girl. I saw that then Sola missed and you have to hit yourself. Feelings need to be remembered. Even against the background of fatigue, you can work «to zero» and not let your rivals go far. Mironova and Kazakevich are also improving their shooting performance,» added Guberniev.
