'Built differently' - Hodgkinson reveals hamstring abnormality
Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson says she is "built differently" after an MRI scan uncovered an "abnormality" in her hamstring.
Russian biathlete and two-time Olympic champion Sergei Tchepikov has passed away at the age of 59, according to Sergei Averyanov, a spokesman for the Russian Biathlon Union. Tchepikov was a two-time Olympic gold medalist, having won the relay event in 1988 and the sprint in 1994. He also earned two world championship titles, securing victory in the team race in 1989 and the mixed relay in 2006.
Tchepikov carried the Russian flag during the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. He became involved in politics in 2006, joining United Russia and subsequently being elected to the Sverdlovsk region’s legislative assembly in 2008. Tchepikov served as a deputy in Russia’s State Duma, the lower house of parliament, since 2016. Following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he faced sanctions from the European Union, the United States, and other Western nations.
