“I’m happy that I managed to shoot flawlessly in such difficult conditions” – Porshnev about the individual race in Uvat

Became the second in the individual race at the Biathlon World Cup stadium in Uvat Nikita Porchnev On , he said he was satisfied with his shooting in such difficult weather conditions.

Porshnev didn’t miss the shooting range on Thursday and lost to Vasily Tomshin by 0.4 seconds.

– With hindsight, do you understand where these 0.4 seconds could have been recovered?

– To be honest, everyone arrives and is surprised that he seems to run well, but in the end he lost. But, apparently, Vasily was stronger today, so I congratulate him. Was planning to run the same race today. I started with a reserve and I was counting on a good shot. And he himself is delighted to have managed to shoot cleanly in such difficult conditions. But again, today’s competition took place in extreme conditions. Very cold, windy. And I had to adapt.

– The dynamics of the backlog. In the last lap, it increased or decreased. Nothing happened there? Maybe he tripped, fell, or hit someone?

– Here the circle is such that there is first a big climb, then a plain, then a big descent. And the last ascent, which was broadcast on television. A semicircle is a long climb. I was told that I had started the last lap too quickly. Although I was generally in control. We have to look at everything and analyze everything.

– Now what more can we say, satisfaction with the results or disappointment with these 0.4 seconds of the unfortunate?

– Of course, I wanted to win, like every race. But I won a lot, then I lost half a second – of course, it’s a shame, but I’m glad I coped with the shot and generally coped with my task, which I myself I’m set for this race. But I would like it better. Half a second is not 40 seconds,” Porshnev said on .
