Biathlete Victoria Slivko told that she tried to act cautiously on the descents during the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup stage sprint in Sochi, which the coach criticized her for.
Slivko finished second in the women’s 7.5km sprint on Thursday. The biathlete, who did not miss a shot at two shooting ranges, lost 4.8 seconds to the winner Irina Kazakevich (3 misses). The leading trio was closed by Natalia Shevchenko (+30.5; 1).
– Accurate from a distance, especially in the first round. In general, in principle, I’m afraid to roller skate, especially on the slopes. It was still raining here, which distracted me from filming: I couldn’t pull myself together and work exactly as I could.
– Without this factor, surely these four seconds behind Kazakevich would not have happened?
“Well, if I hadn’t been scared, if I had come down with more confidence, then yes, I would have won with as much confidence. The coach has already inserted the cradle, everyone has inserted it! Everyone knows how I can skate, but everyone is happy: the region and the coach are fine,” Slivko told .
