Triple Olympic medalist Edward Latypov told that freezing temperatures in the sprint race at the Russian Cup stage in Khanty-Mansiysk forced him to wear mittens instead of gloves for the first time in his career.
Latypov finished fourth on Thursday. Earlier it was reported that the race could be postponed due to the cold weather.
“Normal times, what’s wrong?” But, of course, in any case, a bit unusual, because the races immediately started with a 20 degree frost. The body is a little stressed, unusual. You put on two layers of clothes. Today, for the first time in my biathlon career, I ran in mittens. Average feeling, but what to do – the main thing is that the hands remain warm. Mittens are less mobile, anyway it’s more convenient to wear gloves, but I’m sure it’s not the last icy stage, so we have to adapt,” said Latypov.
