Coach of the Russian national biathlon team Artem Istomine said the group of biathletes he led did not approach the Commonwealth Cup stage in Ufa in optimal shape.
Biathlete of the Istomin group Daniil Serokhvostov took second place in the sprint at the Ufa stage on Friday, losing to Eduard Latypov. Istomin’s group also includes Karim Khalili, Natalya Gerbulova, Ekaterina Noskova, Anastasia Goreeva, Elizaveta Kaplina and other biathletes.
— The whole group is not 100% ready for this departure, I blame myself more, it’s my methodological calculation error. But the work that was done in training camp should yield results.
I wouldn’t want to say precisely what we did wrong, I would give others the opportunity to make mistakes (laughs).
Latypov looks convincing throughout December. Smolsky is not in the same shape as he was this time last year. Maybe he is preparing for the home phase,” Istomin said on .
The men’s pursuit race of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup stage in Ufa will take place on Saturday and will start at 9:00 Moscow time. Watch the live broadcast on the channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru. Also on Saturday there will be a women’s pursuit race, starting at 12:00 Moscow time.
