Triple Olympic medalist in biathlon Edward Latypov on he said that the level of organization of the Spartakiad of the Strongest in Zlatoust is comparable to that of the World Championship.
The Spartakiad biathlon tournament will end on February 18. Earlier in the tournament, Latypov won gold in the sprint and pursuit.
— It’s very nice to start the competitions in a new stadium, a little reference to the past. It feels like we’re at the World Championships. Everything is new, the organization is at the highest level, the new route and the new border are unusual. The emotions are high, there are a lot of fans, which makes me very happy. All at the highest level.
There were stages where many fans were present, but it is very cold here and the spectators arrive much earlier than the races. Here you can also stand near the highway. It’s like in international competitions, where the fans chase you the whole distance. It’s very cool and all the guys share positive emotions.
Before the Spartakiad, we did a little training. We spent 10 days at Seminsky pass, then went down to Zlatoust to get used to the route, everything went as planned. The Olympic Games have just started, many races await us. Before each start, I prepare for victory, because this tournament is the main one of the season,” Latypov said in the “Gromko” show on .
On Tuesday February 13, individual races will take place at the Spartakiade. Watch the live broadcast of the men’s start from 8:35 Moscow time on TV channels “”, “Match! Arena” and “Match! Planet”, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
