“I look at the same Canadians. There is a huge gap between us in terms of professionalism. But they show the result, because they enjoy everything. And in recent years we have only been doing that we are destroying ourselves as a team, ”Sport24 quotes Babikova.

According to him, before the Russian team was a real team, but now this is not felt.

Babikov spoke for the national team at the first stage in the Swedish Östersund, despite the non-fulfillment of the selection criteria, but thanks to the presence of a personal license for the past season. On the application for the stage in Hochfilzen he was not included.

Earlier, the head of the RRF said that Babikov himself refused to be a national team reservist at the KM stage in Hochfilzen.
