Kristina Ilchenko took the third place in the sprint race of the Alpine Cup in Obertilliach

A sportswoman from Yamal Kristina Ilchenko took the third place in the sprint race at the stage of the Alpine Cup in Austria. A Canadian sportswoman Emma Lunder became the first. A sportswoman from Ukraine Daria Blashko took the second place.

According to the information given to a correspondent of the news agency “Sever-Press” in the regional department on physical culture and sport, now Kristina continues training in Obertilliach.

As we should remind, Ilchenko missed the first two stages of the World Cup because of the change of sports citizenship. In 2015 Ilchenko decided to join the national team of Belarus, and before the current season again decided to play for the Russian team.

Kristina Ilchenko is master of sports of Russia in biathlon, the three-time world champion in summer biathlon among juniors. She trained in the sports school of Olympic reserve for children and youth under the leadership of Khamit Akhatov in the town Labytnangi. In junior age she moved to Tyumen and began to represent Tyumen Oblast.
