Biathlete of the Russian national team Kristina Reztsova spoke about the atmosphere in the Olympic village in Beijing before the start of the 2022 Games. Her words are quoted by Sport-Express.
“I try not to communicate with anyone at all. Yes, I’m not the only one here. Here everyone shied away from each other. Everyone trains in masks, even though it’s disgusting. But the stakes are starting to rise, ”said the athlete. She added that she is trying to do everything in her power to compete at the Olympics, as a positive test for coronavirus will deprive her of this opportunity.
On January 24, 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 in the face of a difficult epidemiological situation. The specialist said that he was afraid of the presence of positive tests for coronavirus in biathletes, as they could become infected in the toilets of the aircraft.
Biathlon competitions at the Olympics will start on February 5 and will last until February 19. A total of 11 sets of awards will be drawn.
