Beijing, January 31, Alexander Govorov. Biathlete Anton Babikov must be ready for The 2022 Olympics in Beijing in case of force majeure, said the head coach of the Russian men's team Yuri Kaminsky. Babikov is on the list of substitutes for the Russian national team. Earlier it became known that a replacement was made in the women's team: instead of Valeria Vasnetsova, who passed a positive test for coronavirus, Evgenia Burtasova will arrive in Beijing. «To be honest, I can't say yet. We were given certain instructions on this matter. It is clear that a lot of people come to the Olympics, but as a coach it is very disappointing that the winner of the World Cup stage will not perform at these competitions. We were not given the sixth quota» «The situation is similar with the Norwegians, who could have more deserving people to come here. I would like the quotas to be real. This is not quite a normal situation. I can note a very good hotel and the conditions where we were placed. I don't remember where it was so good. Logistics «It's also convenient. Babikov has all the documents drawn up, he has accreditation. I'll contact him today in the evening and tell him to be ready,» Kaminsky told reporters.
