— What are the emotions after the race?
Anastasia: Joy, satisfaction. Dad definitely had fun, when he closed on five he started hitting all five, he was already happy.
Yuri: Maybe it went into frame, as I shouted “wow!” during the race. After the last shoot, I was happy. It was cool, even in his best years he rarely shot from five while standing.
So maybe now are the best years?
Yuri: Yes, well, where already. The years take their toll, but I am always happy to participate in such competitions. It is good in terms of popularizing competitions and a healthy lifestyle. Love biathlon, do it!
Anastasia: The most important thing is that we are not the last, we have not been filmed, we have striven for it. I was worried when four out of 26 teams were taken out, and if we were also captured.
Yuri: That year we were removed because Nastya shot unsuccessfully, then I entered the circle. Now no one shut us down! That’s cool, let’s get ready for next year. If you are allowed to, you must participate.
