Coach of the Russian national team Artem Istomin told that he was not satisfied with the work of the biathlete Daniel Serokhvostova in the last two Commonwealth Cup races.
At the competitions in Ufa, Serokhvostov finished second in the sprint with one penalty and also won the pursuit race (4 penalties). On Sunday, during the big mass start, Serokhvostov finished eighth (7 misses).
— Danya played very well at this stage. How can this be explained?
— I don’t know how great it is, because there is some bitterness due to the fact that in the last two races the standing shot was, to put it mildly, not very good.
– Nevertheless, he won yesterday.
– Yes, he won because his opponents allowed him a lot.
“Before the first shot today, he left his pursuers. Is he very good at working remotely now?
— In principle, that was his tactic. He should not have allowed his opponents to comfortably approach the line so that they too could make a mistake. I think he and Edik (Latypov) agreed to do this in the starting city.
— Is Daniil making progress now?
— Of course, it is functional by Russian standards. And this allows him to make certain mistakes at the turn. But when you go for seven rounds, it’s difficult to win prizes,” Istomin told .
