– Our biathlon is characterized by the fact that you, having missed the season, immediately come and fight for medals?
– Ask the coaches and those who are engaged. I’m happy for me, for my shooting, even though I haven’t held a rifle for a long time. It’s sad that this is happening, but let the coaches explain the reason.
– Did you watch the steps until you ran?
No, I didn’t, I wasn’t interested. I took care of my health, that was the main thing.
– Were there any hesitations about resuming the performances or not?
– No, I knew that as soon as I improved my health, I would start training. Why not perform if you feel good? You have to come, try, fight, we also speak for the regions, we can compete in relay races. There is almost one left in Novosibirsk, so we have to support the region.
How long have you been back?
– Yes, I do not intend to tie yet. I will make people happy!
