Today we offer to your attention the top ten best biathlonists of the country.
10. Olga Podchufarova ( 187 points) did not become the best among juniors, most likely because of a trauma caused by a fall 400 meters before the finish. The fourth place did not plunge the girl into despair - she hopes for a serious revenge on the results of the world championship.
