Biathlete Larissa Kuklina in an interview with , she said that the track in Uvat, where the second stage of the Russian Cup is taking place, is not in perfect condition, as the organizers say.
On Friday, the women’s individual race was canceled due to severe frost. Previously, athletes and coaches complained of a light dusting of snow on the course.
– After the first training session in Uvat, the coaches announced a small amount of snow on some sections of the distance. Then the head of the Uvat district told me in an interview that the track was in perfect condition. Did the situation really change the next day?
– Probably, one cannot hide the fact that there were a lot of complaints about the track. Yes, the asphalt is visible in some places. When you go up you feel with poles a knock on the asphalt. On the side of our inventory, we are worried. If it is damaged, it will be damage. On the second day of training, I didn’t notice anything had changed. Yes, a finish loop was added on Wednesday, but again there was a very thin, light dusting of snow. I won’t say the track is in perfect condition, but it can’t be called terrible either. You can compete, but in some places there is a thin layer of snow,” Kuklina said.
– Do you have any questions about the location of the scenes?
We are athletes, our job is to run. The less organizational issues concern us, the better it is for us. If you face it, you have to accept the situation, adapt. Even if the athlete says so, I don’t think it will happen overnight. You can talk, but whether it will change anything is a question.
