Russian Alexander Kornev finished second (no misses, lag – 24.1 seconds), the leading trio was completed by another representative of Russia Alexander Loginov (no misses, +51.3 seconds).
– What happened on the bench?
– Wind. Yesterday the wind was contrary, today it has changed. The flags are a little damp, the wind is strange. I made an adjustment, got to the line, fired with confidence, fired two shots and thought everything was working properly. He began to work boldly and did not go beyond two dimensions. We need to shoot more carefully. The wind is quite treacherous here.
— I corrected myself later at the counter.
– It’s hard today. I don’t know how things would have turned out if there had been “zero”. While the condition does not allow me to run. The first two laps were tough, then it went away. I think this is due to the long break. The next races should be better.
— Do you have a plan for pursuit?
– You can fight for victory. The main thing is to shoot accurately. There are chances, the opponents are close,” Latypov said on .
Later on Friday there will be a women’s sprint race, starting at 1:30 p.m. (Moscow time). Watch the live broadcast on the channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
