Biathlon player N.Sakalova leaves Belarus and returns to Russia national team

A double world summer biathlon champion Natallya Sakalova has sent an appeal to the Belarusian biathlon federation asking for permission to return to Russia and join the country’s national team.
The player explained her decision by domestic reasons. Her father has died and her mother leaving in Russia has been left alone.

The departure of Sakalova to Russia will weaken the national team of Belarus before the winter season. Natallya was our best player in the world rating this year.
