Biathlete Yevgeny Garanichev Before the Sochi Olympics, he worked with a psychologist to correct his shooting errors, former Russian national team coach Nikolai Lopukhov told .
On February 13, 2014, Garanichev became a bronze medalist at the Sochi Olympics in the individual race. On Tuesday, the biathlete, who turned 36 that day, took 12th place in the individual event of the Spartakiad of the Strongest in Zlatoust with a penalty.
– How do I remember that time? I remember Zhenya young, strong and beautiful (laughs). It is symbolic that 10 years later he is now competing in an individual race again. It’s great that he’s still running and competing. Previously he had shooting issues, but now he is one of the leaders working on the line.
Then he worked with a psychologist, it was before the Olympics. It was a psychologist who helped him, and Zhenya began to shoot successfully. Garanichev became smarter after working with him. And as a coach, I liked that the athletes worked with psychologists. He gave athletes the ability to think, which is very important. Shooting always helps,” Lopukhov told .
Later Tuesday, as part of the Spartakiad of the Strongest, the women’s 15 km individual race will take place. Watch the live broadcast from 12:50 (Moscow time) on TV channels “”, “Match! Arena”, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
