Double Olympic medalist biathlete Christina Reztsova said it was difficult for her to prepare to work remotely after a long career break.
On Saturday, Reztsova held her first winter race in the PARI Cup of the International Club Biathlon League (MLCB) for the first time in a year and a half. The biathlete took 10th place in the mass start. On Sunday, she finished third in the pursuit.
— 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.
