Olympic champion skier Alexander Legkov commented on his performance in the “ Race of Stars” biathlon in Luzhniki.
Olympic medalist Ivan Cherezov and host Olga Petrikova won Sunday’s race. Legkov’s side, with 26 penalties, were 6 minutes 36.9 seconds behind the winners.
– Didn’t you manage to hit the squirrel in the eye today?
– Yes, it was smooth on paper, but they forgot about the ravines. Everything went completely wrong. I think it’s still professionalism. Many times everyone said that biathlon is a very difficult sport. Everything seems so simple – he came and shot. But no! Targets do not close!
– Are you tired?
– Today, I feel very good. Yesterday I was tired, but today I’m happy. The sun, the perfect shot… Everything would be closed… Then everything would be very beautiful.
What happened during the race?
“Everything was in order at the time of filming. And at high speed they approached the line and shot, as they say, “a squirrel in the eye.” But something went wrong early in the race. I don’t understand what it is. Of course, I would like to understand. There was no fatigue, no breathing… The rifle goes down and we hitchhike, but that’s where the professionalism of the biathletes takes over. We always admire biathletes. You don’t have to run fast, you can go forward, but hit like Ivan Cherezov,” Legkov said on .
” Race of the Stars” in cross-country skiing and biathlon took place on February 4 and 5 and was broadcast live on “”.
