The President of the biathlon Federation of Ukraine Volodymyr Brynzak said that the leader of the Ukrainian team Yulia Jim may miss the next season.
According to Brynzak, Jim needs to rest and heal.
“I think she’s missing a part or fully the following season. She needs mentally, psychologically to relax, heal. And then, if there is a desire and motivation, she’ll be back. We’ve talked about this.
It had to be done even after the Olympics, but she continued to train. So now it’s a must-do. Miss two-three months, six months, and possibly the whole season. All would soon be seen what she will be mental attitude, as well as the dynamics of treating injuries. You need to pass the prevention of all these problems.
With whom she will continue to train, is still unknown. We never spoke about it. It’s up to her. When she wants to go back to training, then we’ll discuss it”, – quotes Brynzak XSPORT.
As you know, in the last stage of the biathlon world Cup in Norwegian Holmenkollen women’s team of Ukraine will go without Jim. The athlete did not specify why not take part in the stage in Holmenkollen. Probably cause back problems.
