Loginov Begins 2022/23 Prep Under Sergei Bashkirov Amid Strong Team Spirit
Russian biathlete Alexander Loginov, a double Olympic bronze medalist, spoke about his current situation ahead of the training camp. The update appeared on Pair TV, outlining the plan to gear up for the 2022/23 season with a focus on renewed energy and cohesive team effort.
Loginov is set to train and prepare for the forthcoming season within the group led by coach Sergei Bashkirov. The squad is aiming to refine performance, build endurance, and sharpen shooting precision as winter competition approaches. He remarked that the mood in the camp is upbeat and that the athletes arrived with clear motivation, ready to tackle the challenges of a demanding schedule. He noted that although the previous season was long and arduous, the team’s readiness signals a strong start to training and a positive outlook for the months ahead.
In related news, Kristina Reztsova, the Russian biathlete who earned silver and bronze at the Beijing Games, made headlines by entering the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in the Sports and Esports category. This recognition underscores the continued presence of Russian talent in the broader sports landscape, even as competitions at the international level face organizational pauses.
It is important to recall that the International Biathlon Union (IBU) has paused participation for Russian and Belarusian biathletes in many international events. This measure affects the ability of those athletes to compete on the world stage while the suspension remains in place. While the situation evolves, athletes and teams are concentrating on training, development, and national-level events where possible, maintaining momentum and readiness for when opportunities reopen in international circuits.
