Biathlete Irina Kazakevich said on that a more accurate shot during the sprint of the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship in Tyumen could have brought him victory in the race.
Kazakevich made two mistakes and took third place, losing 7.8 seconds to the winner Elizaveta Kaplina (1 penalty). Second was Anastasia Goreeva (1 miss, +1.7 seconds).
— It’s not a bad result, we could have recovered those 7 seconds, I’m not happy with that. The shooting can always be better, I made the same mistake as in Sochi. With a penalty, we could dream of victory.
You always think about where you can close the gap. When you go the distance, it feels like you’re giving 100%. But it seems that somewhere he could have pushed harder.
The weather was great, we probably brought it with us from Sochi, although it was foggy and rainy there. Maybe there will be more fans tomorrow, we’re happy there are at least a few. There were coaches cheering all along the way.
The relay of tomorrow? Our team (Sverdlovsk region), like the team of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, is always among the favorites, as in winter,” Kazakevich said on .
On Sunday, men’s and women’s relay races will take place in Tyumen. Watch live broadcasts on the channel starting at 8:35 Moscow time and 11:35 Moscow time, respectively.
