The message reads, in part:
"I congratulate you with a beautiful and
convincing victory. On the track and the firing range, you were better than all
the rest and you confidently overtook your eminent competitors. You did this in
the best traditions of the Russian biathlon school. You manifested steely
endurance, great willpower, mastery and a genuine spirit of leadership.
"I wish you new achievements in sport and
in life, as well as health and good fortune."
