Of the final result of the biathlete Petra Pashchenko shown in the chase race at the Russian Cup stage in Rybinsk, 36 seconds were deducted for the incident at the start, said competition chief judge Sergey Golovyan.
On Friday, Pashchenko left the race 36 seconds late due to the fact that his transponder was given to another athlete. On the first coat, the biathlete made four failures. As a result, Pashchenko, who took second place in the sprint, finished 11th in the pursuit with seven misses. Alexander Povarnitsyn took first place in the race, Nikita Porshnev finished second, Evgeny Yemerkhonov closed the top three.
– Based on the rules of biathlon competitions, we returned Pashchenko 36 seconds. He did everything correctly, there was a mistake by the referee when setting up the transponder. The girls saw number two and put a transponder on number 42. No one protested the jury’s decision. We posted the preliminary protocol after the arrival of the last participant, and after the jury meeting we posted the final protocol. Pashchenko, although he initially went through the athletes, he did not create obstacles for anyone,” Golovyan said on .
