– In the first round, we decided to try to race with Serokhvostov like at the World Cup. I said, “Let go of me, and you’ll support me.” I let it go up so he could bring it up a bit, because I was going upwind for 70% of the distance, which isn’t that easy. I wanted to create a plot, a car race. Of course, at the end of the season, there are not so many forces, but I think it was interesting.

At the last frontier, everything was under control. I fired the first shot and a strong wind blew. I retrained, took a tighter rifle and aimed every shot, because I understood that you can’t make mistakes, only zero can help me,” Latypov said on .

On Sunday, the PARI Championship of Russia will host the women’s mass start and the men’s relay, watch the live broadcast of the races on the channel, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
