Biathlete Edward Latypov appreciated the possibility of running in low temperatures.
Last week, the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup stage in Tyumen was canceled due to frost. Three hours before the start of the first race, journalists accompanied by a technical delegate and the competition jury went to three points where the temperature on the track was measured. At the lowest point, the temperature dropped to -23 degrees. After that it was decided to cancel the whole stage.
— When you run, it’s not cold. But the risk of injury due to improper warm-up becomes quite high. After all, you need to warm up not only in a tent, but also somewhere on the highway, and in such weather you will not warm up much. In addition, a short sprint is more intense and intense work, for which the muscles must be prepared as best as possible,” Latypov told RT.
The next stage of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup will begin on Friday in Ufa. Watch the live broadcast of the men’s sprint on the channel, starting at 8:35 (Moscow time), the broadcast of the women’s race is scheduled for 11:40 (Moscow time). You can also follow the progress of the competition on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
