biathlete Petr Pashchenko in a conversation with , he said he was happy with second place in the sprint at the fifth stage of the Pari Cup of Russia in Rybinsk.
On Thursday, Pashchenko, representing the Khanty-Mansi-Yugra Autonomous Okrug, took second place with two penalties in the sprint race at the fifth stage of the Russian Biathlon Cup, which takes place in Rybinsk from 12-16 January. The biathlete from the Tyumen region became the winner of the race Alexander Povarnitsyn , who also missed twice and edged Pashchenko by 24.5 seconds. Finished third with three penalties and 47 seconds behind the leader Rustam Kayumov representing the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
– It was difficult to get to Rybinsk. So all things considered, I did my best today. Of course, there is room for improvement in terms of shooting. But overall I’m happy with the result.
— Today, almost everyone has shooting problems. What is the reason?
– At a not very low temperature, the humidity here is quite high. As a result, the wind density is high. Therefore, even small bursts drive the bullet strongly off target.
What are your goals at this stage? Do you feel able to add more? We see that many people miss Rybinsk.
– There is a reservation to add, given the work that has been done now – in the interval between departures. The task is the easiest in Rybinsk – to come, to acquire the optimal condition. The most important departure for me is coming – to Minsk, – Pashchenko told .
The next start for the biathletes will be the fourth round of the PARI Commonwealth Cup, which will be held in Raubichi from January 17 to 23.
