13 сентября 2015

By Pavel Kaputsky: The race of world biathlon legends, organised by three-time Olympic champion Darya Domracheva in Raubichi near Minsk, was aimed at raising funds for the construction of children’s hospice as well as testing the new sport complex’s readiness to host large-scale biathlon events. Some stars even allowed certain openness in saying that one of the next World Championships in summer biathlon should take place in Raubichi.

During the festival, anchored by Russian biathlon journalist Dmitry Guberniev, 8,500 fans had a chance to see Michael Greis, Sven Fischer, Liv Grete Poiree and others. Norwegian Frode Andresen was the best in the men's super sprint. The women's race winner is Florence Baverel-Robert of France. The races were followed by an autograph session.
