Why did you become a biathlete?
I became a biathlete by accident, I went with friends for the company and I liked it.
How do you assess last season? What was good and what was bad?
I can rate the last season as 7 out of 10. It turned out that I came up to the main start in good shape, and only sometimes my skis were bad.
What are your plans for summer training? Has the corona virus affected the plans or the way you train?
The virus did not affect the training plan, but prevented us from going to the mountains.
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
It is difficult to say which side is my weak and which is my strong side. There are still many aspects to work on.

We live permanently with Anton Smolski. He has no bad sides 😅.
