[HIGHLIGHTS] The long-awaited victory: Khalili won the mass start at the Spartakiad, the Sverdlovsk region won the women's relay

Karim Khalili won the race from the general start and won the first gold at the biathlon competition of the Strongest Spartakiad. At the same time, the team of the Sverdlovsk region took the upper hand in the women's relay race, despite the penalty loop.

Athletes from Belarus finished third, having never been on the podium in Zlatoust until that moment. For some reason, athletes from Belarus were not allowed to participate in the mass starts.
