Biathlete Elizabeth Kaplina after winning the mass start at the Russian Cup stage, she told that previous races had been a failure for her in terms of shooting, but in this one she was happy with the result shown .
On Sunday, Kaplina won the mass start of the fifth round of the Russian Cup with three penalties. Victoria Slivko finished second with an error on the shooting range. The top three was closed by Anastasia Goreeva, who missed six. In the fifth round sprint of the Russian Cup in Rybinsk, Kaplina finished seventh with five penalties. In the pursuit race, the biathlete also became seventh with nine errors on the shooting lines.
– You showed incredible speed throughout the race. Are you satisfied?
– Yes, quite. But I’m more satisfied with the shooting,” Kaplina told . – In the sprint and pursuit I was not successful at all. Today, three misses is very good in such a windy situation and with such a difficult line. I am therefore satisfied. And today’s course was not bad, like in previous races. All the focus was still on the shot.
– Because of what did you manage to cope with the turn? We saw that many fell in gusts and smeared two or three times.
– I shot the subject on my third shield, which I shot. And I came to the counter during the first installation, I looked at the flags – the wind was not as strong as in the previous race. I did not rush.
How would you rate this step for yourself?
– We can say that, given this race, it’s not bad. The previous ones were a failure for me in terms of filming. The road here is quite difficult – two long climbs. I like these pieces where you can work, be patient. I hope we will come to Rybinsk more often.
There are a lot of fans in the stands today. How do you like the atmosphere?
— Yes, today there are a lot more people. Thank you to everyone who comes and gets sick. It’s such a holiday. Costs!
– Are you expected at the super sprint tomorrow?
Yes, I’m leaving tomorrow.
– Following the Raubichi plan?
– Yes. I will run the whole program there. This season, I am ready to run all the races.
So well prepared for the off-season?
– Yes.
