Biathlete Pyotr Pashchenko told that he almost missed the victory in the sprint of the Alfa-Bank Russian Summer Biathlon Championship in Tyumen due to insufficient speed in the last lap of the race.
Paschenko won the sprint race with a time of 24 minutes 39.0 seconds (0 penalties). Second was Olympic medalist Eduard Latypov (1 miss, +2.3 seconds).
“I understood that my condition was not bad, I could show a good result. The main motivation was to draw zero. This summer, while we were doing a training camp here in parallel with the Russian junior team, one of the shooting tests with them completely failed. I told the guys and the coaches that if I didn’t reach zero points in the two summer stages, I would definitely quit. I kept my word, you can continue.
It was useful for me that there were no fast guys in front, so that I could work on it calmly and not push myself. It was possible to distribute forces remotely. I wasn’t happy with the last lap, I ran away in the first part, I was hoping to work hard on the second part of the track, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it, even though my condition made it possible. allowed. It almost cost me the victory. “I kept the advantage and I’m happy with that,” Pashchenko said on .
Later on Saturday, a women’s sprint race on roller skis will take place in Tyumen, broadcast on the channel at 11:35 Moscow time. The competitions are also available live on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
