Andrii DERIZEMLYA: “Everything possible was done for our athletes”

Vice President of the Biathlon Federation of Ukraine Andriy Deryzemlya spoke about the preparation of athletes for the season, and also spoke about the impact of the war on training.

“As far as I’m concerned, everything happens basically. The Federation, the NOC, the Ministry of Youth and Sports did everything possible to make the war as minimal as possible for athletes. Here I mean that the educational and training meetings take place on time, the issue of equipment is closed. Of course, everyone has their own wishes, perhaps, but they try to satisfy them. For athletes, the most important thing is to train and when the season starts, show results. Everything was done for this. There is still some time left before the start of the winter season. Nowadays, everything is in the hands of the athletes and the coaching staff. Expectations are especially high from our experienced leaders.

War is signaled to everyone, of course. If the meeting takes place abroad, it is psychologically easier. Somewhere subconsciously you fall asleep with the thought that you are safe, you don’t feel anxious. With logistics, of course, it is difficult. When it was possible to fly, it greatly facilitated many processes. But the war has been going on for almost three years, during which time the athletes have gotten used to getting there by buses and transfers. This is normal at training sessions. But when the competitive season is in full swing, inconvenient logistics certainly affect the outcome. If you spend a lot of time on the road, your physical form is lost. The war makes the biggest adjustments to the sporting fate of children and youth. They are currently training and should replace our national team leaders in the future. It will be felt years later,” Deryzemlya said.
