Belarusian skiers and biathlon athletes should train and prepare for competitions in Raubichi and not abroad, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said as he visited the Raubichi National Winter Olympic Center on 13 February, BelTA has learned.
After testing the quality of tracks, Alexander Lukashenko said: “I do not know what else you need. They would be glad to have such conditions in Russia,” the President noted. He stressed that every condition was created for athletes in Raubichi.
“These are wonderful tracks for cross-country skiers and biathlon athletes. There is everything necessary for freestyle, aerials skiers. There cannot be any Austrias, they must train here. With our current level in cross-country skiing and biathlon, this place is the only one for them. Once they reach Domracheva\'s level, we will send them to glaciers if they please,” said the President. “I am only telling this once,” the head of state warned.
