Biathlon world champion Anton Babikov On he spoke about skin problems on his palms due to competing in the cold.
The stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Biathlon Cup in Tyumen last week was canceled due to severe frosts. The second stage of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup begins on Friday in Ufa.
— A while ago we went out to the -32 zone and rode. Somewhere along the course it might have been -34, but further down, on skis, it wasn’t. Descending too quickly can result in serious injury.
Every time your hands get warm, it really hurts. My palms still have cracks. And the skin always peels off in spring in several layers, depending on how many times you froze your fingers during the winter. It’s so painful: your bones hurt, it’s very unpleasant. But you know it will last about five minutes, so you endure it each time, and it gets so good that you’re ready to go out without gloves.
We’re not skiers, we don’t have a lot of high quality trails and shooting areas where we could take and quickly displace the competition. What to do?
— It’s already hot on Friday and the weekend. Will this come true?
– It will definitely come true! Now Latypov is going to scam something! I hope we will compete in all the races and there will be a very interesting fight,” Babikov said in Ilya Trifanov’s special report “Frosty Change” on .
