Ex-skier Natalia Shevchenko said that the relay at the PARI Russian Championship in Khanty-Mansiysk was the first in his biathlon career, and also spoke about the support of other team athletes from the Sverdlovsk region.
On Saturday, the national team of the Sverdlovsk region Tamara Derbusheva , Irina Kazakevich and Natalie and Anastasia Shevchenko won gold in the relay race.
— This is the first biathlon relay of my career. The girls didn’t suggest anything, but said to work as usual, not to worry. I calmed them down further. I had a hard step, heavy position, my legs were shaking a lot. I thought I was going to do the trick, but nothing happened. We can say that the first relay was a success,” Natalia Shevchenko told .
Anastasia Shevchenko noted that she was more worried about Natalia’s scene than her own.
– I used to race the last stages, but at some point they decided that Tamara would lead them. This year, we decided to change everything. When I left to warm up and Natasha ran the stage, I didn’t think about my start, but about whether she knew there were three more rounds for the line. I was very worried about this, ”said Anastasia Shevchenko.
Later on Saturday there will be a men’s mass start. Watch the live broadcast of the race starting at 11:40 a.m. Moscow time on the channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
