At the European championship in Raubichi Elena Kruchinkina won the gold medal. The most popular question that journalists addressed to her and Sister Irina after the finish was the following: “Don’t you regret that a year ago you changed Russia to Belarus?” The biathletes answered in one voice that the transition had fully justified itself, while the Belarusian flag had already become their native. The material of SPORT.TUT.BY contains the story of the lovely twins of the world biathlon (and a lot of pictures of sisters themselves)
