– How did your adaptation to biathlon begin, if we are talking about the technique of the gesture?
– Although there are no particular changes, I have not yet rode with a weapon. I am working on the technique of the general plan, adjustments will be in progress. I run like I ski, without any weight, I’m sure it’s in front. I have been working with my first rifle since April. German weapons, first used a stock, then changed. My height is rather tall, my arms are long, my neck is high, it was a bit uncomfortable with the first box. Probably, the box will still have to be changed in order to recall everything, comfortably and error-free shooting.
– From whom do you take example in handling weapons on the turn?
– There is no example, but they tell me how and what to do, so that it suits me. The girls work at their own pace, and I try to isolate myself and focus on the right thing to do. Now the main thing is to catch all the nuances and correct them accurately, and only then to work on the tempo.
– After skiing with their physical activity, an idle exercise infuriates you?
– No. I have been doing biathlon not so long ago as some girls on the team, not 10 or 13 years old. So far, everything that I have encountered has not only not bothered me, but on the contrary, I like it. I don’t notice how quickly time flies, even during inactive exercise, I think about every action and really get tired. I try to focus on everything as much as possible, including the small details,” Grukhvina told .
At the moment, Mikhail Shashilov’s group is preparing for the season at the training camp in Sochi. It consists of Irina Kazakevich, Anastasia Shevchenko, Anna Grukhvina, Natalia Shevchenko, Anastasia Batmanova, Tamara Derbusheva, Yulia Scheller and Kira Dyuzheva.
