Biathlete of the national team of the Tyumen region Alexander Povarnitsyn said the support of his wife often helps him connect well to running.
On Saturday, Povarnitsyn, who started 11th, won gold in the Super Pursuit at the Russian Championships in Izhevsk with a penalty on the shooting range. Belarusian Anton Smolsky, winner of the qualification, finished second (+0.8 seconds, 3 misses). The leading trio was closed by Karim Khalili (+7.6; 3).
– I liked this format, but I had a hard time running the qualification, because I am not such an explosive athlete. I’m always better at the end. Today I felt that I was in order, therefore, as a percentage of my victory, I gave myself 60% against 40% for Smolsky, ”reports the correspondent of in the words of Povarnitsyn.
— How to recover well between qualifying and the final?
I went out to eat, rest and change. There were literally 10 minutes I watched the women’s race.
“We announced at the stadium that your father was here. Did he say anything before the race?
– No no. He knows how to trap me: he won’t say another word, because he himself is a former athlete. My wife always says I’m strong, makes me believe in myself. I often tell her that nothing is going well, but thanks to her, I feel that everything will be fine.
– Do you manage to notice the posters in your support that she draws herself?
– During such fleeting runs it does not work, in others – yes. When she did this for the first time, he immediately started running as if he was thrilled.
On Sunday, big mass starts will take place at the Russian Championship, watch the live broadcasts of the races on and Match! Arena”, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
