Russian biathlete Maxim Tsvetkov said on that he was satisfied with his performance in the sprint race at the Spartakiad of the Strongest in Zlatoust.
Tsvetkov finished fifth in the sprint without making a single mistake. The winner of the race was Eduard Latypov, Kirill Bazhin took second place, and Daniil Sergokhvostov closed the leading trio.
— We were preparing for it to be cool and windy. But judging by the Beijing Olympics, this is my time, when the wind is at its peak and you have to get by “down to zero.” Today everything went well, a pretty good result for me this year. I am very happy about it.
Until you have traveled this distance, you will not understand how difficult it is. Here, you have to work everywhere. There are very few long deployments from the descent, so you have to constantly work. The circle is really very hard and works over the entire distance.
It’s a good thing for me this season, of course I’m happy. I prepared myself psychologically for extreme weather conditions. According to the forecast, it was clear that the coldest days would be the race days. Before, it was much warmer. “Actually, I don’t really like the cold,” Tsvetkov said on .
The Spartakiad biathlon tournament will be held from February 10 to 18.
Later Saturday, the women will start the sprint. Watch live broadcast of the race from 12:15 Moscow time on TV channels “”, “Match! Arena” and “Match! Planet”, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
