Russian biathlete Anton Babikov said that he tried not to pay attention to the actions of his opponents during the final stage of the mass start of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup stage in Izhevsk.
On Sunday, Babikov reached the fourth stage in third place, about 16 seconds behind Belarusian Dmitry Lazovsky and Alexander Loginov, who each made two mistakes and let him pass. Babikov won, Lazovsky was second and Loginov third.
“I was preparing for this big step, I knew I had to catch up with the guys, be behind them. The wind was such that it was possible to hide behind those in front. I was focused on the last line, so I don’t remember how I took the last shots, I didn’t focus on my opponents, everything went well.
“I felt like I covered the distance easily.”
“In some places I felt like I wasn’t burying myself at all, I wasn’t falling into the snowdrifts, it was my strongest team, and that’s how I managed to win “, Babikov said on .
Later on Sunday, a women’s mass start will take place in Izhevsk; watch the live broadcast on the channel from 12:35 (Moscow time). You can also follow the progress of the race on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
