KAZAN, February 18, Vadim Kuznetsov. Multiple Olympic champion and former president of the Union Russian biathletes Alexander Tikhonov said he was dissatisfied with the performance of the Russian women's team at the Olympics in Beijing. The Russian women's team was left without medals in the mass start at the Olympics, which took place on Friday. In total, in Beijing, the team won one silver award — in the relay. «The performance of the Russian team is unsatisfactory. Absolutely! Only Kristina Reztsova, who prepared separately, could count on a medal in personal performances. This is a sad fact — the leader is preparing separately. We lost what we had many years. How many women have won Olympic awards with us, starting with Svetlana Paramygina and ending with Olga Zaitseva, Olga Pyleva and Svetlana Ishmuratova. And then a wild failure followed. This is an abnormal phenomenon, «Tikhonov said. mediocre work. Mikhail Shashilov is the level of the Sverdlovsk region and no more. The nonsense is that they refuse to work with the Russian national team, and this cannot happen in any other country in the world. We have always considered it a happiness to work with the national team. the leadership of the Ministry of Sports and the ROC to interfere in these matters. Otherwise, we will sink even lower, «said the famous athlete.
