Russian biathlete Edward Latypov on he said his skis did not work well during the sprint of the second stage of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup in Ufa.
On Friday, Latypov won gold in the sprint race at the second stage of the Commonwealth Cup; the athlete showed a result of 23 minutes 54.5 seconds without errors on two shooting ranges. Second place was taken by Daniil Serokhvostov (1 miss, 17.5 seconds back), Kirill Bazhin took third place (1 miss, +1 minute 5.6 seconds).
— It worked reliably today, the weather was difficult, it was cold. I don’t know what this is related to. He seems to be used to the cold, but somehow it gets through my clothes. No matter how you insulate, you still freeze. Today the ride is not very good, so to speak. I had to surpass myself, it was more of a race for power. Today I’m happy, I managed to show off my strength from a distance with shooting.
—They said your skis didn’t work.
“They probably know better.” I knew today was a tight slide, I resisted. There was no ease, I couldn’t even relax. During the race, I just worked from the downhill.
I tried to control what I felt and not rush into it. I realized that I couldn’t go any faster than I would like. Maybe the break had an effect, maybe the cold froze my muscles. I understood that it was better not to make waves, but to move at my own pace and work on the line.
— Serokhvostov said he had too much during training camp.
“I don’t think it’s difficult for him.” It was hard for me too, all the circles were two or three seconds away from him. I understood that I could play and escape, but I knew it could be difficult and I could get tired. I didn’t want to miss the goal, I wanted to do everything correctly. It’s good that it worked,” Latypov said on .
Later on Friday there will be a women’s sprint race, which will start at 12:00 Moscow time. Watch the live broadcast on the channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
