Biathlete Kirill Bajine told that before the second shooting range of the sprint of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup stage in Ufa, he recalled the results of the prologue, where he lost to Anton Babikov in a duel shooting.
On Friday, Bazhin finished third in the sprint with a penalty, Babikov made two shooting errors and took 25th place. The day before, he had beaten Bazhin in the final of the prologue in shooting duel.
— How much did the frost affect the rifle’s performance today?
— Maybe yes, because there was a mistake on the first prone shot. The rifle remains in a warm place for a long time, which can cause problems in cold weather. Yesterday there were mistakes during duel shots, today too – let’s ask the coaches where the shot took place and we will understand what influenced it.
— Did the prologue help you identify your mistakes and prepare for the big departures?
— I wouldn’t say that it helped me understand my mistakes, but it helped me to unburden myself. It’s cool that we are in the final with Antokha (Babikov), and today we got adjacent numbers. I arrive at the shoot and I think: “We must take revenge on him.” It seems to have worked,” Bazhin told .
