host and former figure skater Emma Gadzhieva said that she perceives target shooting in biathlon like jumping in figure skating.
On January 28 at 12:00 p.m. the “ Star Race” will take place in biathlon. Teams of two people each: a biathlon star and a famous amateur, will compete for a prestigious trophy and demonstrate their skills. Gadzhieva is one of the participants.
— My favorite biathlete is Dima Guberniev, no one has made me fall in love with this sport like he made me fall in love with this sport. I think biathlon is more interesting than cross-country skiing because there is a lot of intrigue due to shooting. I perceive shooting in biathlon like jumping in figure skating. Five targets – five elements, standing shooting in short program, lying down shooting – free. With each jump you need to inhale and exhale. I hope my laziness will help my performance, because I will be too lazy to do extra laps, which means I have to shoot well.
— Do you prefer to shoot lying down or standing?
— Shooting while lying down is dangerous – there is a chance that after running a circle I will lie down and not get up, ha-ha. Well, seriously, I don’t tolerate it well when my muscles go slack. In figure skating you can’t relax your muscles, you just can’t pull yourself together, so I don’t really understand how you can lie down and relax your muscles and then run again. I tried shooting and hit five out of five targets while prone. I have an official training session soon. Then they asked me how much training I was getting. She said this, because the strong don’t need training, and the weak won’t help (laughs). They asked me how I was going to run, I said: of course, with a skate.
I could not even imagine before that I would run a biathlon race, commented by Dmitry Guberniev. Thanks to and Moscow Sport for this opportunity,” Gadzhieva told .
