Double Olympic champion Sergei Chepikov noted the high level of holding competitions at the Commonwealth Cup, and also pointed out that the former skier Natalia Shevchenko showed an excellent result in the women’s sprint in Raubichi (Belarus).
Shevchenko, who switched from cross-country skiing to biathlon last year, took a two-event penalty to finish second in the sprint. Won the race Larissa Kuklina the third became Anastasia Shevchenko .
– It’s good that the Russians are leading the competition. And it’s very good that we have the Commonwealth Cup. Athletes do not lose form in the hope of a quick return to participation in the World Cup. Note that the motivational component is also preserved: there are certain prices. In addition, the composition of national teams and service groups has been preserved. It is very important that the competitions take place at a high level. Congratulations to the winners and I hope for more good results.
It is worth noting the performance of former skier Natalia Shevchenko. Very good shot. A failure is a serious feat for representatives of cross-country skiing. It’s not that easy to make the transition to biathlon. There are a lot of nuances here. It takes many years of training to reach the level of professional shooting. But we had representatives of biathlon skiing, a vivid example is Anfisa Reztsova. Shevchenko’s performance indicates she has good potential in biathlon, Chepikov told .
