I notice that Russian Biathlon’s heroic refusal to meet reality continues - after the Russia Cup Series (in Russia), the Friendship Cup series (in Belarus), the International Championship races (2 countries) they are rounding off the season with the Russian Domestic Championships.  So plenty of variety there, kind of marketed to fans of Gibraltarian football.

The auto-translated website says this athlete is a 'superstar' and won a junior world championships medal, but this athlete is nowhere on the IBU database? This German article also mentions a silver at the 2021 junior worlds....but the actual results of the 2021 junior worlds show absolutely nothing with his name...

I'm starting to wonder, may they be mentioning the wrong sport or something? There is nobody with a name remotely close to this who got a world junior/youth medal since 2016...

Maybe biathle, the UIPM running & laser pistol shooting variant?  Or bike/run triathlon?

[RobtheAggie 337]

I could not find anything more about him either.  A sad story, but maybe not really related to biathlon.
