MOSCOW, February 18, Pavel Levkovich. Two-time Olympic champion Olga Zaitseva said, that he wants to support the head coach of the Russian women's biathlon team Mikhail Shashilov. Russian biathletes won one medal at the Beijing Olympics — Irina Kazakevich, Kristina Reztsova, Svetlana Mironova and Uliana Nigmatullina became the second in the relay. «The Olympic Games are very difficult competitions purely psychologically. Such pressure applies to everyone, not just athletes. There is no need to destroy Shashilov, these are emotions. We are all living people, everything should calm down, the RRF will sort it out, and everything will be fine. I want to support Mikhail, we need to be people. At the Olympics, we defend honor countries, and to say that the coach is bad and it is not clear what they are doing here is wrong. The coaching staff works in a team, they do everything in discussion, everything is built professionally there,» Zaitseva said.
