Andrei Padin, coach of Mikhail Shachilov’s group, highlighted the biathlete’s high speed on Tamara Derbusheva in the sprint during the Alfa Bank Commonwealth Cup stage in Ufa.
Derbusheva won the sprint, avoiding mistakes on two shooting ranges. The Belarusian took second place Anna Sola bronze for the Russian Victoria Slivko .
“I loved Tamara’s great passion and composure. She entered the finishing circle to fight, that’s worth a lot. She came out with leader Slivko and managed to salvage a significant five seconds in the final segment. Showed decent high speed. I’m proud of our athletes, we did a great job, it should have paid off.
I am satisfied with Slivko’s result. Of course, we always want victories. The start of the season was not the same, the starts in Khanty-Mansiysk were not very impressive. But they continued to work, despite the freezing weather, which did not allow them to do little work. Slivko was a little behind in the final round; if she had the same speed as Derbusheva, the result would have been different,” Padin said on .
