Biathlete Anastasia Batmanova told that she chose the wrong tactics in the last lap of the women’s pursuit race of the Russian Cup stage in Khanty-Mansiysk and therefore took only fourth place.
The winner of the pursuit was Natalia Shevchenko, second place went to Elizaveta Kaplina, third place to Anastasia Goreeva. Batmanova, along with Kaplina and Goreeva, moved away after the fourth shot at the same time.
“I could have fought (for third place) if I had kicked myself.” It seemed to me that they had a very high speed, so I decided to lag behind and then speed up. But the tactics were bad, because I made up the gap. Sometimes you have to believe in yourself a little more. When I approached the finish line, I thought: “It’s amazing, I have so much energy, but there is nowhere to spend it – I’m going alone.” It was my mistake.
— Is it a lack of experience?
“Yes, we don’t fight for a medal that often,” Batmanova told .
On Sunday, December 3, mass starts will take place among men and women, live broadcast of the races will begin at 8:45 a.m. (Moscow time) on the channel, as well as on the sites sportbox.ru and matchtv.ru. .
