former skier Anna Gruhvina after her biathlon debut at the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup in Sochi, she said she had no desire to return to cross-country skiing.
Before the start of the preparatory period, Grukhvina switched from cross-country skiing to biathlon. The 23-year-old finished 30th in the sprint on Thursday with eight penalties at the shooting range.
– The prints are very cool, but it didn’t turn out the way we wanted. At the reset, the wind was blowing from the left, but during the race it calmed down. I think there has been a change.
How unusual is this attention?
– A little exciting, unusual. Someone expected the supernatural from me, someone just encouraged me and expected nothing. I try to ignore it, everything is fine. I was not afraid of not closing a single target. I was a little worried, but nothing: the first pancake was lumpy.
Would you like to go back to skiing?
– No, I chose this sport, I work and study here.
– Last season, Natalia Shevchenko, who gave up cross-country skiing, became a three-time Russian champion in biathlon. Is there pressure because of that, because someone expects the same results from you?
No, there is no pressure. We are two different people. It took him a year, maybe two for me, or, conversely, even less time, ”reports the correspondent from Gruhvina.
