“This is not the level of modern biathlon, even IBU cups in Europe are organized on a larger scale. The transfer of sprint races tells about the level of organization of the stage - it leaves much to be desired. You could offer to move the stage to a later time, knowing the weather. Even if you manage to hold the race tomorrow, it is better to keep athletes. After all, the World Cup is ahead, ”Vasiliev said in a conversation with RT.

He noted that "those who set these stages on the eve of the primacy of the planet, absolutely do not think about athletes."

Previously, he shared his opinion on the postponement of sprint racing at the stage of the CM in Canada.
