— Edward likes to kill the plot (laughs). There were intrigues until the last stage, but then there was none. As Eduard said, we all worked well, we went through our stages without any interruptions, with some minor flaws, but just so that in the future we have something to work on and don’t relax. Today our lineup has changed a little – Ilya Burlakov performs for the first time in our team. The first stage went well, it suggests that there is a generational change and we will continue to try to win medals.
— How do you evaluate your preparation for competitions within the framework of the “Union of Three Biathletes”?
“The preparation hasn’t changed much. It’s the same work as in the national team, the same work that we have been doing for many years. It’s just that with a little more responsibility that we impose on ourselves, we don’t put it on the coach, on the staff, on anyone. But we like it, we feel comfortable working with each other. We understand that maybe we get a little more attention, but at the same time we realize that this attention is based on the fact that we are worthy athletes, and we try to maintain this class and will try to confirm it this winter . ” reports Babikova.
