Double Olympic medalist Christina Reztsova told that she will start racing at the third stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Biathlon Cup in Tyumen, despite the severe frosts.
Previously, the press service of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) announced that the sprint races of the third stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Tyumen were postponed from December 9 to 6 due to weather conditions . According to weather forecasts, on competition days in Tyumen it will be -27 degrees Celsius. On Sunday, Reztsova won the mass start of the second stage in Khanty-Mansiysk.
– The cold is very painful for you. It will be even colder further away in Tyumen, are you going to run?
— If there are races, I will start. The question is how will I isolate myself? The biggest obstacle is not the frost, but the wind. Yesterday the temperature was about the same, but there was no wind, so I wasn’t cold at all. Today my fingers were very cold, not during the race, but afterward,” Reztsova told .
Reztsova did not compete last season due to the birth of her second daughter. The youngest daughter Polina was born in March 2023, the eldest daughter Alexandra in February 2021.
