Snow Sniper is a great opportunity for the kids who do not do biathlon professionally to prove themselves. I hope that today's medals and awards will motivate children for further achievements. It is a memory for many years. I understand the tears of the kids who failed to make it to the top three on the podium, but it is important not to dwell on it, but to keep working towards your goals and become stronger every day, Darya Domracheva said.

The program on Sunday includes nine races, the first of which starts at 9.00, the final one - at 14.00. the national youth biathlon tournament Snow Sniper for the prizes of the Presidential Sports Club have been held since 2007.
