– Tamara and I are going as a couple. Apparently she had a plan to shoot fast and well, I had a good run. Today we made a lot of mistakes, especially in standing shooting, there was a gust of wind. I had a bit more luck, started working 10 seconds later, it turned out to work fine.
After the prologue, Toma and I managed to relax lying on the bed, besides using the massager, relaxing our legs, it was about 30-40 minutes in the room, we came here to warm up.
(Coach Mikhail) Shashilov hasn’t said anything about the shot yet. I did not understand what were the reasons for the error on the second subject, maybe it was due to the wind, it was blowing from different directions.
Now it’s warmer, my hands are very cold during the prologue, I ran with thick gloves, in the race – with thin gloves, ”Kazakevich said on .
Later on Saturday, the final game of the men’s super pursuit will take place. Watch the live broadcast of the race starting at 1:45 p.m. (Moscow time) on the channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
