The head coach of the Russian men’s biathlon team, Yuri Kaminsky, expressed concern about the team’s flight to the Olympic Games in Beijing due to the difficult epidemiological situation. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
The specialist said that he was afraid of the presence of positive tests for coronavirus in biathletes, as they can become infected on planes. “The most dangerous thing on the plane itself is the toilet. Many people go there, so we all have to be patient during the flight, ”said the coach.
On January 22, Kaminsky announced vaccine discrimination before the Winter Olympics in China. He pointed out that Russians vaccinated with Sputnik V should be quarantined twice as long if they test positive for COVID-19.
The Russian team will leave for Beijing on January 26. Biathlon competitions will be held from 5 to 19 February. The men’s team included Alexander Loginov, Eduard Latypov, Daniil Serokhvostov, Karim Khalili and Maxim Tsvetkov.
