Biathlete Anastasia Goreeva told that her boyfriend’s support Karima Khalili helps a lot during the race.
Goreeva became third in the pursuit race at the Spartakiad of the Strongest in Zlatoust on Sunday. In September, Khalili and Goreeva announced their engagement.
“Karim encouraged me and told me to think with my head during the last shoot. It gave me strength, but unfortunately, I lacked it a little upon arrival.
— Do you have a tradition of encouraging each other during races?
– Yes of course. I also try to shout to him during his races, but Karim says he never hears anyone during the race. And I run and look for him everywhere (laughs). It makes me feel good when he is there, when he encourages me. It gives strength,” Goreeva told .
Khalili is an Olympic bronze medalist in the men’s relay. Goreyeva won the Russian Cup in the 2022/23 season.
On Tuesday January 13, individual races will take place at the Spartakiade. Watch the live broadcast of the women’s race from 08:35 (Moscow time), the men’s race from 12:05 on the channels “”, “Match! Arena” and “Match! Planet”, as well as the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
