biathlete Ivan Kolotov spoke about health issues that affected his athletic form.
Kolotov became the second in the mass start at the Russian Pari championship in Izhevsk. First place went to Ilnaz Mukhamedzyanov, third to Mikhail Pervushin.
– What prevented you from showing good results after success at the start of the season? Many health-related factors interfered. At first, I sprained my elbow ligament, which prevented me from doing speed and strength training, and I missed almost everything. After that, there was a serious poisoning in Demino. There I completely “fell”, went to Raubichi and realized that the form was absolutely zero or even inferior. We can say that the form has passed in less. It was not until the training camp in Sochi that I already began to feel more or less well, and in Tchaikovsky, after the first race, I realized that now I was in optimal shape, in good form.
January fell for me and became such a month of recovery, so there is fatigue, but it is rather not accumulated, but arose from the fact that at this time there was already the third start. Maybe that’s why you feel tired. Now we will train, recover and, I think, further the form will be better.
I think now all issues are resolved. It remains only to work on yourself, your thoughts, the psychology, because the problems lie mainly in the shooting aspect. The main thing now is to maintain this form, that is. Maybe even manage to go up a notch, but at the moment for me, working on filming is a priority.
Were they specially brought to the first part of the Russian Championship in Izhevsk? In principle, all departures are important to us. It does not happen that we point something. Moreover, now such a season, especially for the national team, is experimental, because there are no international departures, there is an opportunity to work from home, to try something new. Someone started shooting differently, someone – to do something new in technology. Therefore, now someone is unlikely to be brought up on a one-time basis – he just trains and performs at competitions, ”Kolotov told the championship.
