Russian biathlete Victoria Slivko after the sprint at the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup stage in Ufa, she said she hoped for better results next year.
Slivko came third in the sprint, losing 6.2 seconds to Tamara Derbusheva, who won. The second place was taken by the representative of Belarus Anna Sola.
— I had a good race, during the men’s sprint it was colder, here it was warmer. We all did it well, well done, we ran and shot with dignity. I’m very happy for myself and for the girls, for Sola, even if I lost a second against her.
— Coach Andrei Padin told you that you need to run faster.
— Andrei Viktorovich wants me to run faster. I think I will soon live up to his hopes; with each race I improve more and more. After the New Year, I will shine.
The stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Tyumen last week was canceled due to severe frosts.
— I was sure that the departures would take place here (in Ufa). It’s a bit sad that the Tyumen stage was canceled. As Kazakevich said, we work very hard, train, race four months a year and plow the rest of the time. During competitions, you don’t give yourself any respite. It’s very disappointing to miss it due to illness or cancellation,” Slivko said on .
