olympic medalist Said Karimulla Khalili told “” that confidence in winning the pursuit came to him when at the finish line he went to the stadium with Daniil Serokhvostov and Alexander Povarnitsyn.
On Saturday, Khalili became the winner of the pursuit at the third stage of the Russian Cup in Tyumen. Povarnitsyn was second (+0.2 seconds), Serokhvostov took third place (+0.8).
– Give advice to the rest of the biathletes, how to draw the last frontier like that?
– I do not even know. You have to be cold-blooded. I came and saw how Daniel was shooting. While I was getting ready, I didn’t watch Sasha’s setup, but from the sounds of the fans, I realized he didn’t have zero. When I started shooting, I saw out of the corner of my eye that he had a misfire, and realized that only zero could solve something.
– That is to say that you look at the telescope with one eye and you look at the other installations out of the corner of the other eye?
— Yes, it must. As the race progresses, decisions have to be made on how to work the line, whether to go for a faster or more reliable shot.
Are you satisfied with your results now?
“It was still very hard on the track. At each turn I tried to sit behind someone, for Maxim Tsvetkov, for Edik Latypov, then for Sasha Povarnitsyn. I tried to save as much as possible. The third line of fire disappointed me the most, I tried to keep my focus but the miss was very close.
– How did you feel at the finish line when such a slaughter took place?
– When we went to the stadium itself, I realized from the situation that I would be able to win. Daniil was behind and a few meters ahead of Sasha. I understood that it would be difficult for them to ride,” Khalili told .
