Double Olympic champion Dmitry Vasiliev in a conversation with , he expressed the opinion that the leaders of the Russian men’s biathlon team had shooting problems.
On Sunday, Vasily Tomshin won the mass start of the PARI stage of the Commonwealth Cup in Raubichi, hitting all the targets. Second place was taken by Belarusian biathlete Dmitry Lazovsky, his compatriot Nikita Lobastov finished third.
Said Karimulla Khalili was fifth with two penalties, Anton Babik was sixth with three misses. Eduard Latypov finished eighth with three penalty loops, while Daniil Serokhvostov, who finished ninth, had four errors at the range.
– As for our other guys, then, of course, we need to shoot more cleanly. We see that recently we had some difficulties with the filming, unfortunately. This is especially true for the leaders: Latypov, Khalili… Karim usually lost the shot somewhere. He has always been a consistent shooter. And then suddenly these results. This is strange. We need to understand why.
But despair and discouragement are not worth it. These races pass. The main departure is the Russian Championship at the end of the season. In our case, it’s like the World Cup. We must therefore prepare responsibly for this departure. I think the leaders understand this and will try to correct all mistakes, Vasilyev told .
The next stage of the Commonwealth Cup in Raubichi will take place from January 26-29. Watch live broadcasts of the competitions on the channel and on the matchtv.ru site.
