– Can the team from the Sverdlovsk region be called the strongest in women’s relay races?
– No, you can’t, because in Khanty, in Tyumen, in Krasnoyarsk – there are cool girls everywhere. But today is the arrangement.
– Is Natalia Shevchenko the best in your team?
– I don’t think she means it, the four of us are good.
– Did you and Shevchenko talk about how to properly respond to the attention that fell on her?
She’s a smart girl, no problem. Although it’s bullshit, the most difficult will be in three years.
– You said that you called (the head of the Russian Ski Competition Federation Elena) Vyalba after Shevchenko’s victories. Today, it will still be the case. Wasn’t she bored?
Now let her call. It’s a joke (laughs), Shashilov told .
This season is the first for Natalia Shevchenko in biathlon. Previously, an athlete by the name of Mekryukova took part in cross-country competitions.
Later on Saturday there will be a men’s mass start. Watch the live broadcast of the race on the channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
