Latypov won the ultrasprint, which took place at the Aldan ski center in Yakutia (Sakha Republic). Ivan Kolotov took second place among men, Kirill Bazhin completed the top three. Among women, local biathlete Regina Petrova became the first. Larisa Kuklina made two errors in second place and Kristina Pavlushina finished third.
— One of those who should have won the ultrasprint. In the prologue, Bazhin was happy, but unfortunately he got stuck at the bar. Kolotov was happy. Emerkhonov and Kornev were upset. Tomshin had an unusual shot for him. Ultrasprint is a format that is difficult to adapt to quickly. A short segment of skiing and already the line.
— Is it necessary to introduce ultrasprinting into the competition calendar?
– It’s too early to think about it. We must first find a solution. Now we are still arguing among ourselves about how everything should be. We eliminated the penalty loop and it turned out that one athlete did not fit in the extra ammo provided. Emerkhonov took second place in the semifinals, but was placed in last place because he left a target open.
The ultrasprint is of course a very interesting and spectacular race, and the public really appreciated it. You have to do such races, I’m sure. The ski coaches who are currently at the training camp here have clearly spoken in favor of this race, ”Kaminsky told .
