On Thursday, the third stage of the Russian Cup started with sprint races. The pursuit will take place on Saturday, the mass start is scheduled for Sunday.
How does Natalia Shevchenko feel?
– She can go to the mass start, she trained today. Tomorrow, too, will train. Let’s see, we won’t force events, if need be.
Are the other athletes in your group doing well?
“Somebody else is coughing. Don’t worry, it’s the start of the season. Everyone in my squad trained today.
— How do you assess the results of the biathletes in your group in the sprint?
— Someone has coped, someone has not coped, someone has their own problems due to illness. I wish the results were better. Someone sank at the finish line, who had shooting problems. Kudisova showed good legs. Here Batmanova failed, inattentive. Young, she is almost five years younger than the others. The rest went smoothly.
– Frosts in Tyumen have become weaker. Is it comfortable for biathletes to train now?
– Here Kazakevich said earlier: the air temperature is the same, but it looks completely different. Cool, but nothing, the girls will get used to it. Where to go, we live in Russia.
– Will all your athletes start at the next stage of the Cup in Ufa?
– Sure. We will try to run, start. If something happens we will miss a race, everything is in working order,” Shashilov told .
