– I really wanted to participate in this event, it is a great honor for me to run at least with Sasha Legkov. In general, I am very happy with this vacation. Of course, I set myself up to have fun, to do the best I could. I trained before. But something went wrong today, as they say.
On the range I was terrible, to be honest. I was very upset. The most difficult thing was not to get too excited between the stages and to prepare to try to go further and correct the situation. And the most difficult moment was between the third and the fourth border. Because already and weariness has accumulated. Admittedly, she almost wanted to burst into tears, but she pulled herself together and realized that she had to go further.
I’m an athlete at heart and every athlete always wants to win, whether it’s a show or official starts. You always get angry when you don’t get what you want. However, my teammate Sasha Legkov helped me a lot. He just praised me: “You are so good, you ran well! Someone started well, but got tired on the third lap, and you both started and finished! I’m proud of you! We will also calculate who missed the most in shooting! Thank you so much ! He is my very good friend, thanked him for his support and said next year we will definitely get our revenge,” Bobrova told .
– You are seriously preparing for the race, is it?
“It didn’t sit well with my schedule. Still, it’s a competition, and I wanted to spend a lot of time preparing. Once I trained with my dad at our base near at home, the second time here in Luzhniki. But still it was a small training, an hour maximum. However, they got what they got.
– How familiar is it to hold a gun in your hands in general?
– I’m used to it, it’s comfortable. I am very good and I shoot very often at the shooting range. Olya Zaitseva taught me how to shoot. I let it down a bit (smile). Honestly, I don’t know what the shooting depended on. Because at zeroing, I consistently knocked out four of the five. When I asked what was wrong, why it wasn’t working, no one told me. They would say, maybe, and correct something (laughs). Our coach and referee told me not to worry: “Most likely, the adrenaline and breathing influenced me.” But I don’t really believe in it, because I know how good I can shoot. Five out of five misses is just amazing to me, really.
In general, what is the importance of holding such events?
– Very important. It is first of all the promotion of sport. It is clear that biathlon is one of the most popular winter sports, if not the most. Although I always try to argue with everyone, naming figure skating. Naturally, I will drown for my appearance (laughs).
But everything is very cool. Very cool ski slope in Luzhniki. Here you can organize training with a professional ski and biathlon trainer. I have friends who go skiing here. It’s cool. And in front of the ski area is a large ice rink! In other words, they combined two cool sports (laughs). Luzhniki is the center of sports.
” Race of the Stars” in cross-country skiing and biathlon took place on February 4 and 5 and was broadcast live on “”.
