Biathlon World Champion Anton Babikov told that he and Edward Latypov representing the Bashkortostan national team, participated in the second and fourth stages of the men’s relay at the Russian Championship, so they had the opportunity to correct the mistakes of their teammates during the race.
The Bashkortostan team consisting of Alexei Petrov, Babikov, Alexander Babchin and Latypov became the second in the relay at the Russian Championship in Khanty-Mansiysk on Sunday. The first place was taken by the first team of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra (Dmitry Ivanov, Petr Pashchenko, Alexey Vagin and Nikita Porshnev). The first team of Belarus (Nikita Lobastov, Dmitry Lazovsky, Ilya Avseenko, Anton Smolsky) took the third position.
– I don’t think Smolsky stopped fighting at the finish line. It’s just that today there is such a slip, in which it is very difficult to count on some kind of finishing push. The finish line is not dotted at all, there is wet and slush so when they catch you it is very difficult to reach.
– How to distribute the places by stages? Is the fourth stage attributed to Latypov?
Now Edik is fit. Yes, we thought about breaking up a little differently, not just putting Edik on another stage, but swapping with other teammates. Nevertheless, we decided to do it, where I ran second and Edik fourth, so that there was an opportunity to correct mistakes during the race. But the guys are great guys, they worked very well, which allowed us to be brought up, – said Babikov “”.
On April 5, Uvat will host a men’s marathon as part of the Russian Biathlon Championship. will broadcast the race live, starting at 8:40 a.m. Moscow time.
