Biathlete Ekaterina Noskova said she rubbed a snowman for good luck, blindsided with her husband near her hotel, but it ultimately didn’t help in the sprint race during the fifth stage of the PARI Commonwealth Cup in Raubichi.
On Friday, Noskova finished sixth in the sprint with a penalty. The day before the race, the biathlete posted a photo of a snowman on her Telegram channel with the caption “They made a guardian angel here, it will be used for the race tomorrow. Tomorrow we touch everything for good luck .
“I’m pretty unhappy with the race today,” Noskova told correspondent. — The state of health was quite heavy on such a track, I could not technically adapt to the track, I failed. It was very hard. Also, I missed the last shot on the stand that cost me the medal today.
Has the wind intervened?
– Not. I lost my concentration a bit. She hit four shots, and the fifth lacked focus.
— Who made the snowman near the hotel, the photo of which you posted on the Telegram channel?
– It was last night that my husband and I went for a walk and blindsided her. We decided to put it on the channel and cheer everyone up a bit, cheer them up.
Have you rubbed for good luck?
— Yes, but that didn’t help me today (laughs).
