“When I caught up with Batmanova, I felt like I could fight for a medal” – biathlete Gerbulova

Biathlete Natalia Gerbulova who won a bronze medal in the large mass start at the second stage of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup in Ufa, thanked the coaches for this result.

Gerbulova finished third in the race, making two errors. Victoria Slivko was the first to overcome the distance, Anastasia Egorova won silver.

— Today it was a very difficult race, because the track was narrow, there were a lot of people, today I was not so daring, but balanced: I let someone pass, I I slowed down somewhere, so that there wouldn’t be a bad situation for me and anyone else.

When I caught up with Batmanova, I felt like I could fight for a medal, because I understood that if I got close to third place in the last descent, then I would have to get through it at the arrival. As a child, I accelerated a lot, thanks to my father for that. When I arrived at the last stand, I hoped to work “from zero”, but today it is like that. I want to thank my coaching staff, our team, for us to move forward and get good results,” Gerbulova said on .
