biathlete Anton Babikov is considered a good shooter, his rifle probably froze during the sprint during the Russian Cup stage in Uvat, the two-time Olympic champion, head of the St. Petersburg Biathlon Federation, told Dmitry Vasiliev.
On Saturday, Babikov took 43rd place in the 10km sprint. He misfired 7 times, including 5 in prone shooting, and was 4 minutes 5.9 seconds behind winner Daniil Serokhvostov.
– Babikov surprises me the most. Five misfires in the prone position – it does not fit at all. Babikov is considered a good shooter. If he was never able to hit at all, that means he had some problems. Either the cartridges are completely bad, or the barrel is really frozen. Frost is frost, it brings various surprises. We will wait for Babikov to prove himself in hot weather, and not just him,” Vasilyev told .
The Russian Cup stage in Uvat will end on December 4.
