Instead of the head of the service group of the Russian biathlon team, Alexander Pechersky, who fell ill with the coronavirus, another employee will fly to the Olympics in Beijing, and four members of the team who were not allowed on the plane due to problems with QR codes will probably resolve this issue today and go to Games to the capital of China are already on one of the next flights. On January 27, Izvestia was told by the head of the press service of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) Sergey Averyanov.
“The head of our service group is Alexander Pechersky. Unfortunately, he tested positive for coronavirus the day before. He was immediately isolated from the whole team, and it was clear that he would not fly anywhere. He is now in quarantine. Instead, our employee, who is now at the European Championships, will fly, ”he said.
At the same time, the head of the press service of the RRF does not consider it a big problem to prevent four members of the national team from boarding the plane due to problems with QR codes.
“The fact is that, as far as I understand, within a day before the flight, you need to fill out an analogue of our “Gosuslug”, upload the required documents there, which the Chinese side accepts and, accordingly, a QR code is generated to enter the country, which is presented. All the members of our delegation you named above, they had been ill with covid last year, and this document that they attached, apparently, was somehow incorrectly attached, ”Averyanov explained.
He stressed that the Beijing Organizing Committee helps the members of the national team very much in preparing documents, but at that moment it was night in China, so no one could help.
“I hope that today we will solve this problem (with QR codes. – Ed.), and they will fly away on some next flight,” the head of the press service of the RRF added.
Earlier in the day, the SBR reported that Pechersky’s coronavirus test was positive. In addition, according to Gazeta.Ru, the head coach of the women’s team Mikhail Shashilov, biathletes Irina Kazakevich and Valeria Vasnetsova, and massage therapist Roman Nikitin did not fly to Beijing.
