For the first time since 2004, Belarus will host the European Championship. After 3 years, the Race of Legends returns to the Raubichi sports complex. Fans have a unique opportunity today to meet those who have repeatedly climbed to the Olympic podium. For example, the Belarusian-Norwegian duo Daria Domracheva and Ole Einar Bjørndalen won 12 gold medals at the Olympics. The crew of the TV News Agency is working in Raubichi.
By this minute the mixed relay has finished. The Belarusian duet of Nadezhda Scardino and Sergey Novikov won. The Belarusian-Norwegian duo Daria Domracheva - Ole Einar Bjoerndalen became the second, finishing only 2 seconds behind.
In the mass start for women, our Nadezhda Scardino became the best. She showed an excellent run and shot cleanly. In the same discipline among men, Andrey Derizemlya was the first to finish with one mistake.
At 19:30, the awards ceremony of the winners of the festival Race of Legends will begin. Then the stars of biathlon will reward those who became the best in the final of the Snow Sniper competition. The most touching moment for the whole Belarusian biathlon will be seeing Daria Domracheva and Nadezhda Scardino from great sport.
On Tuesday, there will be a pause before the start of the European Championship. The competition program includes a classic individual race, traditional sprints, pursuit races, mixed relay and super mix. The tournament will be attended by over 300 athletes.
On Saturday and Sunday there will be a stage of the Freestyle World Cup in parallel with the European Championship. It is expected that almost all the strongest ski acrobats will come to Raubichi, including our newly-made world champion Aliaksandra Romanovskaya.
