Olympic figure skating champion in team competition Ekaterina Bobrova spoke about preparations for the ” Race of Stars” in biathlon, noting that it was unusual for her to move clockwise along the track.
The event will take place on February 5 and will begin at 1:00 p.m. Moscow time and will be hosted by commentator Dmitry Guberniev. The competition will take place according to the rules of the mixed biathlon relay.
– The most difficult thing is that the circle rotates clockwise, because we skaters are used to skating counter-clockwise. I have a phase shift, I kind of have to come to terms with that. Very cool feeling, it was interesting to shoot lying down and standing up. Experience has been gained, let’s see what happens on Sunday, because there will be more adrenaline,” Bobrova said on “All for the Match! on the channel.
Oksana Moskalenko, who helped the skater prepare for the Race of Stars, said Bobrova was determined to win.
– We immediately understand that she is a top athlete, she is responsible for winning, despite the fact that it is not her sport. We worked on the transfer of the baton, rolled in a circle, worked on the bend. We trained lying down, let her shoot standing up. She has the skills, she worked with Olya Zaitseva, she knows how it’s done. There were no problems, she catches on the fly, – said Moskalenko.
A day earlier, Luzhniki will also host a TV Race of the Stars match among skiers. Both races will be broadcast live on the channel.
