russian biathlete Daniil Serokhvostov spoke about the difficulties of the track during the fifth stage of the Commonwealth Cup in Raubichi.
On Thursday, Serokhvostov took second place in the sprint. The victory was won by Eduard Latypov, Belarusian Anton Smolsky closed the top three.
– It was a shame to miss the first (shot). I saw how my shot flew for three hours. I did not check it myself. Therefore, he became the second. In principle, I’m happy, but I hope that everything will not repeat itself for me like in the last Cup, where I first became second, then twice ninth. I hope it will be better, – the correspondent of reports Serokhvostov’s words.
– Have you solved the shooting problem?
– Yes. Yesterday we trained, increased the buttocks so that there was more emphasis. Let’s see how it affects. This did not affect the stand. The lie was also ready.
How comfortable was the snow?
– The track is hard. I don’t know, maybe we went through a winder in the morning. Yesterday there was a minus and a solid track, and this morning it was loose because we don’t know what. So today the conditions are difficult, the track is difficult. But the strongest wins. Today it turned out to be Edik. Both on the track and shooting.
– Can you say that the first numbers had an advantage?
– I think not. They didn’t have many advantages. Even at the warm-up track was completely killed. As for the weight, I don’t know. I have short skis, they won’t fall off more than those with longer skis. But guys who race on long skis are heavier than me. I don’t know, maybe it affects somehow, but maybe not. I also failed a lot. I don’t know about the others.
