Biathlete Rastorguev accused the coach of the Latvian national team of beating him at the World Championships.

As the athlete explained, he came to the coach to discuss a specific incident that occurred last year. However, the coach pushed the biathlete out of the room and started waving his arms. "I gave up on any further actions. Essentially, I was knocked out. The situation was attempted to be saved by the doctor of the Latvian Olympic team," Rastorguev said in an interview with Tvent. Medics diagnosed the athlete with a broken finger and a broken nose. The victim also suffered serious damage to the shoulder. Rastorguev stated that he suspects Britsis, a two-time world championship medalist, of stealing sports equipment. According to him, he did not expect such a reaction from the conversation with the coach. Rastorguev is 36 years old. He is a silver medalist of the 2024 World Championships and a two-time European champion. Britsis is 54 years old. Until 2024, he was the only Latvian biathlete who won medals at the Biathlon World Championships.
