TYUMEN, March 31, Alexander Govorov. Prize money at the Russian Biathlon Championship in Tyumen is modest compared to the IBU Cup, said Russian biathlete Anastasia Goreeva. Goreeva won the silver medal in the mixed relay at the Russian Championships as part of the Moscow Region team. For the second place, the organizers awarded her a certificate in the amount of 15 thousand rubles. For winning the IBU Cup in the 2021/22 season, 3,000 euros are paid in individual starts, 5,000 euros in relay races, and 2.5 thousand euros in single-mixed races. «I am very happy that I take silver medals for the second day in a row. We were preparing for gold medals, our team is combat-ready. The atmosphere in Tyumen? I just made a mistake yesterday that I was distracted by the fans during the shooting. Today I didn’t make such a mistake. It’s nice when they drive around the track, but knock down during shooting. The amount of prize money of 15 thousand rubles? Of course, it is quite modest compared to what they give at the IBU Cup. But it's better than nothing. So far, they are only talking about more serious financial injections into our biathlon, I hope that everything will be fine, » Goreeva told reporters.
