Twelve of the fifteen tons of freight flown onboard Volga-Dnepr's Ilyushin IL-76TD-90VD aircraft comprised sports equipment and outfits for athletes representing the biathlon squads of 25 countries, including such prominent biathlonists as Magdalena Neuner (Germany), Emil Svendsen (Norway), Carl Bergman (Sweden), Andrey Makoveyev (Russia), Andrea Henkel (Germany), Darya Domracheva (Belarus) and others.
