– Latypov has always run very well, now he shoots better from time to time, so in many races he has a big lead over his rivals. To perform at world level and compete with the steroid Norwegians, you have to shoot well. In a year we should probably be back, by which time we have to be ready to zero on the turn. Of course Latypov is great, he is very stable, he has won six important races in a row. I don’t remember anyone in Russia showing such stability.
“Shipulin?”
– Even from Shipulin, I don’t remember such stability on so many races. It is clear that during his performances the emphasis was on international performances, but after all, Latypov wins important races, Vasiliev told .
Three-time Olympic bronze medalist Latypov previously won the overall Commonwealth Cup ahead of schedule.
From March 27 to April 2, Khanty-Mansiysk will host the Russian Biathlon Championship. Watch live broadcasts of competitions on the channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
