Biathletes Tamara Derbusheva And Kirill Bajine on they evaluated their performance in the single mixed relay at the first stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk.
On Saturday, Bazhin and Derbusheva, representing the Sverdlovsk region, won the race. Representatives of the Perm region Anastasia Zyryanova and Ivan Kolotov came second, losing more than a minute to the leaders. The top three were completed by Polina Shevnina and Roman Surnev (Moscow region).
— There was a slight confidence, but the excitement was still present. We managed to place ourselves at the top of the group in the first round. Today there was practically no wind, the flags flew calmly, it was possible to work well and peacefully. I was sure that Kirill would hit all the targets, I admired his rate of fire. Even when he took out extra cartridges, it was very fast,” Derbusheva said on .
— The main task was to go at our own pace and practice on the shooting range, because the race is short and dynamic. For four laps we had to move at our own pace. I heard about the one minute advantage literally half a kilometer before the finish. I worked at my own pace, yes, there were mistakes in the position, but it’s not serious,” Bajine added.
The starting phase of the Russian Cup will take place on November 25 and 26. The mixed relay will take place on Sunday. Watch the live broadcast of the race starting at 9:35 Moscow time on the channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
