Timofey Lapshin, a former biathlete of the Russian national team playing for South Korea, told on his social networks how he was recently involved in an accident.
“The preparation period didn’t start very well. I had an accident. I had to slide between cars and tripped over the car’s mirror. A bone in the hand leading to the little finger was broken. It was possible not to do the operation, but it was decided, because without it the brush would have been moved. Everything went well, now I’m in the hospital.” Now I will walk in a cast for six weeks, train as much as possible, ”said Lapshin.
Lapshin played for the Russian national team until 2017. He became a two-time world champion in summer biathlon. He also has a gold medal at the World Cup stage in Kontiolahti in 2012.
Recall that the International Biathlon Union (IBU) announced last spring its decision to allow Belarusian and Russian biathletes to participate in the World Cup and IBU stages only as neutral athletes. As a result, the Russians decided to skip these competitions. In September, the organization extended the suspension period.
At the end of March, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that the Russians be allowed to have a neutral status if the athletes did not take an active part in supporting the conflict.
