Ukraine will not boycott the final stage of the Biathlon World Cup, which will be held in Russian Tyumen.

This was announced by the president of the federation of biathlon of Ukraine Vladimir Brynzak.

"Like everyone else, so we will. This is the World Cup, official competitions that affect the overall standings, there are points that are important for the Nation Cup, which affects the quota for the next year. Do not want to do this from politics, because sport is outside politics, "Brynzak said in an interview with UA: First.

Recall, recently there was information that the national team of Canada will boycott this stage of the World Cup. True, the senior coach of the men's team denied this information.

We will add, earlier it was reported that the final stage was moved to Oslo, but the president of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) Anders Besseberg said recently that there are no changes.

The World Cup in Tyumen is scheduled from 22 to 25 March 2018.

Recall, on December 5, the IOC disqualified the Russian national team from the Olympics due to the doping scandal. Take part in it will be able to only "clean" athletes under the Olympic flag.
