Dronova remained out of the medal fight in this type of program; the Russian finished 21st.

It was difficult not only for Tamara, but also for many people. We didn’t even expect this to happen. It was really slippery – the mechanic was running and slipped. Tamara fell at the 15th kilometer, her leg began to swell, her bike was damaged, and the “horns” themselves were slightly bent.

— Are you worried about missing the group race?
