Belarusian biathlete Ilchenko received permission to play for the Russian national team

"The decision comes into force on January 1," - quotes the head of the IBU Olle Dalin TASS.

25-year-old Ilchenko was selected by the Russian team to participate in the first stages of the World Cup, but could not play for the Russian team due to the lack of permission to play in international competitions.

Since 2015 she has played for the national team of Belarus, and at the end of last season she returned to Russia.

Earlier, Anton Babikov said that he did not refuse to participate in the relay at the Biathlon World Cup stage.
