Biathlete Alexander Povarnitsyn in a conversation with , he said that during the chase at the fifth stage of the Russian Cup in Rybinsk, he felt superior in speed on Eugene Emerkhonov.
On Friday Povarnitsyn, representing the Tyumen region, with two misses became the winner of the pursuit. KhMAO-Yugra’s Nikita Porshnev was second, 49 seconds away, with a range error. The third with two misses was the representative of the Republic of Tatarstan Evgeny Yemerkhonov – he lost to the leader 1:16.6.
– Two misses on the first shot did not knock you down. Then you had a great run and made three zeros. How did you come together?
– During the first shoot, I had a lag in the ready-to-eat. I felt this could be fixed. Of course, for such a dense race as the pursuit, such a penalty is simply unacceptable. It could set me back a lot,” Povarnitsyn told .
– The circle before the decisive shot you went very hard. Did you feel like you were taking a big risk?
– No, I felt that I could go at this pace. I didn’t see the point in waiting, you had to create a backlog before shooting, just in case – suddenly the gauge didn’t pass or something happened. Objectively, I now move harder than Zhenya Yemerkhonov, so I could afford it.
So are you so sure of yourself?
– Well, yes, I sat behind Zhenya against the wind. It was a tactical fight. He suggested I move forward, but I waited until we reached the climb, then left.
– Matvey Eliseev said yesterday that he was surprised by your lack of good results in recent seasons, because he knows you as a very fast biathlete. Nice to hear that from a colleague?
– Of course, such an assessment is pleasant, especially from such a master as Matvey Eliseev. I have been in good contact with him for a long time. We trained together, we were in the national team. He is a very gifted and physically strong athlete. I wish him to recover his condition as soon as possible.
