Raubichi: Anton Smolski faster than the Russians
…
A great site for biathlon
Raubichi, a modern stadium, which was to host the World Cup before the sanctions, is organizing the 2nd stage of the new Russia, Belarusian cup this week. Two great nations in the discipline who will no doubt have to watch the World Cup and the IBU Cup from afar.
According to the latest information, the IBU will unsurprisingly and scandalously pursue the departure bans left to its athletes, on the sole basis of their passport, unheard of in the history of sport.
Sportingly, everyone will be lost, the level of the World Cup will decrease, the competition also but today the political influences are such that only the IOC, is still, could change this decision.
Moreover, everyone knows that these sanctions, on sport, are absolutely useless and will absolutely not change Putin’s wishes and choices.
Let’s get back to sport with this great success of Anton Smolski in front of his audience. Revengeful, after his girlfriend Dzinara Alimbekava’s 5th place in the women’s sprint, the Belarusian delighted his audience.
With a clear round and a good ski time, he won in 23’12 with only 1 second of margin on the Russian Kiril Bazhin, also a perfect shot. Eduard Latypov takes third place at 9sec with an error.
“For once I’m shooting very well at Raubichi I’m very happy. The results of this race are close and we will have a good fight, with the Russians, during the pursuit, it will be great for the fans.” explained the winner.
Dmitry Lazovsky, another Belarusian, ranks fourth. He is followed by Tsvetkov, Khalili, Babikov, Lobastov (BLR), Povarnitsyn and Tulatin (RUS).
