– Would you like to participate in the same biathlon marathons?
— No, only if the weather is fine. On this one, no. Today was very difficult, a very difficult distance for such weather. I believe that whoever has reached the finish line is a real hero.

– No, it wasn’t. I felt like I was struggling, so I wanted to reach the end, Povarnitsyn told .
On Thursday, will broadcast the women’s 30km marathon live. The show starts at 8:40 a.m. Moscow time.
