biathlete Anastasia Goreva explained the unsuccessful shot in the mass start at the Russian Cup stadium in Chaikovsky (Perm Territory) by the fact that his fingers froze.
Goreeva became 12th in the mass start on Sunday with six misses, but won the Russian Cup overall, ahead of Victoria Slivko in additional indicators. Tamara Derbusheva won the mass start, Slivko was sixth.
– Many thought that after yesterday’s success (second place in the pursuit) nothing happened – no, my hands became very cold. I only wear gloves and run plus five, and run minus 20. There was nothing I could do about it.
I tried to get Slivko, it’s hard to calculate how many points I needed. Today I felt bad today, yesterday’s race had a negative impact on my condition. I roughly counted.
I saw three in front of me on the finishing lap, I tried to give everything to get them, but I couldn’t.
After the finish, it’s normal, but during the distance the pulse does not accelerate, the muscles do not work, as if I was running the tenth start, but this is only the third race. I hope I will recover and compete for the trophy in the individual race.
I didn’t think about the general classification, I wanted to win, but before going to bed I tried to scroll the race, remember what I did in shooting yesterday in order to repeat today” , Goreeva said on .
The big men’s mass start of the PARI round of the Russian Cup will take place later on Sunday. The race can be followed live on the channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru And sportbox.ruthe start of the broadcast – at 10:50 Moscow time.
