MOSCOW, Oct 14, Svetlana Bonopartova. Re-elected President of the Russian Biathlon Union (SBR) Viktor Maigurov told reporters that the organization will build work with the expectation of the participation of athletes in the Olympic Games — 2026. At the end of February, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that sports federations not allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate in competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.» As for the tasks, we need to stabilize the situation. We closed our tails for two years, debts, something else. I think now we need to plan for a four-year period and calmly prepare for this or that competition. We somehow think about The Olympic Games, we don’t discount them. The main thing is our regions, 55 regions, each has its own headache, daily work is going on here, you don’t even need to plan anything,» Maygurov said.
