Belarusian biathlete Dinara Alimbekova said she was looking forward to the Commonwealth Cup pursuit and mass starts.
Earlier, the women’s sprint ended in Raubichi, in which Alimbekova took second place. Gold went to Irina Kazakevich, bronze went to Tamara Derbusheva.
– I was watching the weather forecast yesterday and showed up in the second group to find out the weather of my opponents, how they are shooting. I won’t say that I was unlucky somewhere, but on the finishing lap the track was already completely rutted, we had to choose some pieces to go on. Of course, I have the advantage of knowing this track well, but today, unfortunately, I had to go where the others were going, so I couldn’t fully show all my sprint qualities and take advantage of home track. Dissatisfied with work. I acted confidently at the range, I knew I would definitely hit.
I have praised the military before and I will certainly thank them today. There’s no problem with that, it’s great when the whole team works and everyone succeeds. Today’s medal is not only my medal, there are many people who deserve it too.
– We have the feeling that after the last stage, you were angry with the sport and wanted to do everything differently. And here is the money!
– Anton (Smolsky) and I had a great rest at home, forgot about work for a while, put our phones down and spent time like a family. Thanks to this, we received good energy. I wouldn’t say we were very angry, we just knew our mistakes and knew we didn’t need to repeat them. First of all, it concerns the work at the border, because, of course, we will not run in a few days.
– Saturday and Sunday, spectators must come to Raubichi – two chases, two mass starts…
– This, of course, is the most interesting. We always want to sprint as soon as possible and start preparing for these contact races, because it’s much more interesting, more spectacular. We are waiting for everyone to visit, it will be sunny and warm.
– We noticed that you have a beautiful bow that matches the color of the uniform, earrings. How important is appearance to you while running?
– The bow was given to me by a little girl who is here at every run – she made it with her own hands. It’s such a tribute to the fans we remember them by. After the awards ceremony, I always try to come upstairs, take a picture with everyone, give an autograph. Of course, it’s nice to come out beautiful at first. At the World Cup, the girls are preparing all the time. However, we are shown on TV, our family, my girlfriends are watching us. They even give compliments, – the correspondent of reports the words of the biathlete.
