Viktor Nikitin, personal trainer of the biathlon world champion Anton Babikov in a conversation with , he said that the athlete could get the maximum mark for winning the mass start at the fifth stage of the Russian Cup in Rybinsk.
At the same time, the specialist expressed his disappointment that Russian biathletes are no longer able to test their strength in competition with foreigners.
Babikov won the mass start at the Russian Cup stage in Rybinsk, without allowing a single miss at the shooting range. Babikov’s closest pursuer, Yevgeny Garanichev, lost nearly 38 seconds to the leader.
– What Anton wanted, he achieved. The Bashkir group held training camps in Ufa, where Babikov and Povarnitsyn trained. Well done, formed in the right direction. Anton’s rating is excellent, now the main task is to perform well at the Commonwealth Cup.
– Anton was the only free kick in today’s race, it’s worthy …
– Yes, he shot cleanly, although two dimensions passed, but he was always a shooter. His movement is also excellent, the last lap today was very strong. It’s alright, the only shame is that we can’t compete with foreigners to compare our strengths. Otherwise, everything is positive, adds not only Anton, but also the rest of the athletes, Latypov, I think, will also add to the level of performance. Still, coming to training camp in Ufa was absolutely the right decision. By the way, with Babikov Povarnitsyn lived in the same room, which also did an excellent job at this stage.
The fourth stage of the Commonwealth Cup will start in Belarusian Raubichi on January 19 with sprint races.
