Races in which no one seriously competes with a three-time Olympic medalist Edward Latypov lead to degradation, believes Daniil Serokhvostov .
On Saturday, Latypov took first place in the pursuit race at the final Commonwealth Cup stop in Tyumen and won the overall tournament standings ahead of schedule. Serokhvostov, who finished second, was 55.1 seconds behind Latypov. Alexander Povarnitsyn who became the third – by 1 minute 12.3 seconds.
— Is the Commonwealth Cup a good alternative to the World Cup?
– Of course not. In fact, it’s the same Russian Cup.
Is it possible to progress in such conditions?
– It’s difficult to progress when there are such races. When Chief Edik Latypov just arrived and no one is fighting him. From there, you even degrade a little.
I hope that we will soon return to international competitions. But it will be their (International Biathlon Union) decision, and not ours, ”reports a correspondent in Serokhvostov’s words.
On March 12, mass starts will take place at the Pari stage of the Commonwealth Cup in Tyumen. At 08:35 (Moscow time) the women’s race will start, at 11:55 (Moscow time) the men’s race.
