— Today was marked by youth. Among the girls (Julia) Sheller is fourth, she is only 22 years old. (Anastasia) Zyryanova is a little older, fifth. Grishina is still in the top ten. Batmanova is only 23 years old, her first victory and such an important victory. I sincerely congratulate her on her victory!
In general, the podium was familiar, Slivko and Goreeva were great, they won medals in a great fight. Kazakevich continues to disappoint, he can’t shoot standing at all. (Tamara) Derbusheva can’t come to her senses, she wasn’t in top form in January. Let’s see what happens during the chase. And I expected a more worthy performance in the sprint from Natasha Shevchenko. But, on the other hand, Shevchenko and Derbusheva are in the top ten, they will fight in the chase, the gaps there are small.
The biathlon in Zlatoust is wonderful. It is important that the Zlatoust stadium is not a one-day stadium, we must continue to organize competitions there. It’s a wonderful city, great people, we have fun,” Guberniev told the correspondent.
The Spartakiad biathlon tournament takes place from February 10 to 18.
On Sunday, the biathletes will start the pursuit races. Watch the live broadcast of the men’s pursuit from 9:05 Moscow time, the women’s – from 11:35 on TV channels “”, “Match! Arena” and “Match! Planet”, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
