—When did it become clear that you couldn’t hold her?
“I tried to get close from the beginning.” But she realized she couldn’t get any closer. There was a delay of 9 seconds, then 11, then 9 again. I wanted to work alone, but the next group was approaching. Did not work.
—Did Veronica make the rhythm too cosmic?
– I will not tell. We started exactly everything.
— How did the fight between you and Istomina go?
“She arrived on the second lap after the first climb. I heard him coming. And you could say she waited to work together, because it’s difficult alone,” Sorina said on .
The Russian Cup final in the Murmansk region will end on Sunday.
