Biathlete Reztsova about the interruption of competitions: “Saturday, it was as if I was going to the starting line for the first time in my life”

Double Olympic medalist biathlete Christina Reztsova said it was difficult for her to prepare to work remotely after a long career break.

— During the first race, I underestimated myself a little. We talked with the coaches about the need to start more calmly and “feel” our bodies. Yesterday, when I did the last lap, I realized I was tense (laughs). Yesterday I was afraid of the shooting, I was a little afraid. Today I was already in a different mood. I think I did my best, so I didn’t make any stupid mistakes. Yesterday I ran like it was the first time in my life (laughs). After a long break, it was difficult to prepare.

— Did the reduction in the pursuit gap also play a role?

– Of course, interest increased when two minutes were reduced to one, what can I say. I think it’s the right decision. It was more interesting for everyone to fight, ”reports the correspondent of , according to Reztsova’s words.

Reztsova missed last season due to the birth of her second child.
