The weather conditions affected the performance during the big mass start during the Russian Cup stage, the sliding of the ski was much worse than the previous days, the biathlete told Alexander Povarnitsyn.
Povarnitsyn finished fourth with two penalties in Sunday’s race, nearly 30 seconds behind winner Anton Babikov. The big mass start of the sixth stage of the Russian Cup in Chaikovsky (Perm Territory) was the last race of this season’s competition.
“In such a cold weather, it’s good that we reached the finish line,” Povarnitsyn told a correspondent with a laugh. – The sliding was much worse than usual, the state of health did not allow me to work on the race in a qualitative way. He overcame himself, tried to cling to those in front, because he himself could not offer anything.
What is the reason for the two failures?
– What was happening in the standings before that – two misses at the turn – it’s out of the ordinary. And today I tried to work more aggressively, more relaxed, and the shoot was a success. And failures will be attributed to excessive haste.
The race was dynamic, constant catch-ups, and before filming, these moments marked everyone.
Povarnitsyn in the overall standings for the 2022/23 Russian Cup season took second place, losing to Karim Khalili.
