Double Olympic medalist biathlete Alexander Loginov said it was unlikely he would be able to return to his best condition.
On Sunday, Loginov took second place in the mass start of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup stage. Anton Babikov became third. At the finish, Loginov was 7.2 seconds ahead of Babikov. The Belarusian won the race Dmitry Lazovsky .
— Is it a special feeling to die with Babikov at the finish line?
“I’m very happy that we got on the podium.” I know how difficult it was for him to survive the freezing races, because it is not so easy for him to conserve his energy in this frost. I’m happy that today the weather allowed Anton to perform, although not 100%, but with a good, solid four. With my form, everything is already more complicated: when I go to each race, I have no idea how it will go for me. I’m glad I was able to face the wind on the shooting range today.
— You show good results at the start of the season. Do you understand that this difficult period is behind us?
“I hope that period is behind us.” I no longer believe that I will return to my best condition, but in any case I will be able to return to this condition when I enjoy the finishing lap.
— Today, there are two representatives from your team among the top three. Do you set a goal to get on the podium with Babikov and Alexander Povarnitsyn?
– If God wills. I saw the whole preseason, how the guys worked, how they trained. “I am sure that they will have many more podiums,” reports the correspondent of , according to Loginov’s words.
Loginov previously told that he plans to retire this summer. Last season, the biathlete practically did not compete due to health problems.
Later on Sunday, the women will start the race from the general start. Watch the live broadcast from 11:40 Moscow time on the channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
