The world champion of the Ukrainian biathlon team refused to participate in the World Cup race
Our compatriot will prepare for the next stage
World biathlon champion Dmytro Pidruchny will miss the pursuit race of the 8th stage of the World Cup (March 10, 19:50), which is currently taking place in the US's Soldier Hollow. The captain of the Ukrainian national team felt unwell and decided to save himself for the 9th stage.
The 32-year-old from Ternopil managed to complete a relay (9th place) and a sprint (55th) in Soldier Hollow.
"The stage in America is over for me. I limited myself to two races, and I won't start in the pursuit because I don't feel well. There is the last stage in Canada, so I need to recover in time to do the final races of the 2023/2024 season," Pidruchnyi wrote on his Instagram.
As OBOZ.UA reported, Eric Perrault sensationally won the sprint race at the stage in the United States. For the 22-year-old Frenchman, it was the first "gold" in his career in individual races.
Ukraine, which was represented by five athletes in this discipline, could not boast of high results. The best among our biathletes was Artem Pryma, who finished 39th.
The day before, the U.S. biathlon team took the highest place in the history of World Cups in the relay. The American team of Vincent Bonacci, Sean Doherty, Campbell Wright and Jake Brown sensationally finished fourth at the 8th stage of the World Cup in Soldier Hollow (Salt Lake City, USA).
