BiathlonBiathlon - Russia
In Russia we are on the eve of the internal pre-selections that will decide the athletes appointed to fly to Europe and then play the posts for the first stages of the World Cup. In this regard Anfisa Reztsova, still last today Russian to have won the Crystal Ball, was interviewed by izvestia.ru tested and - as usual - not sent them to say.

"We must return to a meritocratic system. The five best in internal tests go in the World Cup, the other in Ibu Cup. Then, based on the yield of each, you can make changes. The rotation must be transparent and fair. It is not can form the team looking at the results of last season or who has the most beautiful eyes.
The 'idea that the biathlete is Allenina in different groups do not like, because c''è the risk that every coach push their girls to the detriment of the other. It creates the danger of a civil war, when everyone should be working in the same direction. In my opinion it is better to train all together.
Also in the World Cup should compete the strongest of the moment, regardless of their status or group. Fortunately it seems that Valery Medvedtsev will follow this policy. The girls are happy to work with him, because spends much time talking with them. The preparation has gone well, so I trust.
It's hard to say if we can get back in the top five of the rankings by nation and then to recover the maximum amount of 6 pecs. Let's see how it goes first two or three stages, after which we will discuss our means to do so. However, it will not be easy to regain the full contingent of 'Besides the enemy will not sleep for sure.
My daughter (Darya Virolaynen, editor's note) has been training well and except for a small ailment in early September has played well prepared, not only physically, but also psychologically. She likes to be followed by Medvedtsev, it also enjoys exercising. I think it is very positive.
Many think that Svetlana Sleptsova will again be the leader of our team. Surely it is in good shape and want to prove they can fit into the team. I have always said that is very talented, but it is also extremely arrogant and stubborn. As long as he followed the right directions, the results came. I wish you to be successful during the 'winter.
Many expect good things from Ekaterina Glazyrina, returning from Materita break. It is not obvious that they arrive, you have to see how his body reacted. Some organisms are regenerated after pregnancy, while others crumble and does not pop up anymore. I know that the test results are good, we hope for the best.
In Russia in words we always did the war on doping, but in reality we have publicly supported athletes and athletes who were disqualified because of repeated violations. In my day there were no cash prizes even for those who won in the 'Olympic gold medals. Today, however, are funded training of athletes banned from competition! With all the problems that there are! We should invest this money nell''investigazione and internal anti-doping! "
