Biathlete Alexander Loginov representing the first team from Tyumen, shared his impressions of the team race of the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship in Tchaikovsky (Perm Territory) on .
Biathletes from Tyumen took second place in the race, behind the first team from Belarus. Representatives of a neighboring state also come in third place. Since the Belarusian team participated in competitions outside the general classification, the gold of the Russian championship was won by the Tyumen team (Alexander Povarnitsyn, Vadim Istangulov, Alexander Loginov, Evgeniy Garanichev). The KhMAO team will receive silver, and the Krasnoyarsk team will receive bronze.
— For me, this race was a first, even though I have been doing biathlon for a long time. Honestly, very interesting. As Dmitry (Guberniev) said on the show, it needs to be modernized. Indeed, something can be added, but such a race is necessary.
When you wait while your partners shoot, the best stage of the competition, you can relax (laughs). Today, I didn’t have the fastest skis, the guys, realizing this, helped me and pushed me on the descent to grab seconds. It’s great,” Loginov said on .
According to the rules, four people from the same team start at the same time. At the lines, two biathletes are shooting and the others are in the waiting area. For each failure, two athletes are sent into a penalty loop. When passing the course and at the finish, the distance between the first and last teammate cannot exceed 15 seconds.
On January 14, at the Russian Championships in Tchaikovsky, there will be large mass starts for women and men.
