Double Olympic champion Sergei Chepikov after the “ Race of Stars” biathlon, he said he was surprised by the successful filming of his partner, actress Elena Zakharova.
On Sunday, Chepikov took part in the “ Race of Stars” biathlon together with actress Elena Zakharova. They finished sixth in their semi-final.
— How do you find today’s race? Has nostalgia struck?
— Of course, it’s nice to feel like you’re in a competitive environment again. Even if everything is not going well, because there was a long break after my previous departures. But the main thing is that it is a sporting celebration for the spectators. Stars of sport, cinema, theater and television are among us and participating in this race.
— Have you seen other biathlon legends for a long time – Cherezov, Zaitseva, Makoveev?
— We still meet periodically. And every meeting always brings positive emotions. Of course, today it’s very nice to be with them at the start in such an atmosphere.
— How do you like amateur performances?
— Some showed a very good level. The main thing is that they want to stay in shape. Not everyone has the opportunity to study professionally, but they are great and have shown very good results. I ran in a team with actress Elena Zakharova and was very surprised that this was the first time she shot from a biathlon rifle. After all, Elena got into trouble just like me! I thank her very much for that.
— Do you ski often now?
– Trying. There is a lot of snow in Moscow this year and various parks are open. There is a circle on the sparrow hills – five kilometers, we live not far away. It’s a very good winter, I’m trying to stay fit,” Chepikov told .
