Biathlete Natalia Shevchenko who previously competed in cross-country skiing, told that his skiing skills allowed him to make mistakes on the shooting range.
On Tuesday, Shevchenko won gold in the individual race at the Spartakiad of the Strongest in Zlatoust, making a mistake at the fourth shooting range. The second was Anastasia Shevchenko, the third was Victoria Slivko.
— After the finish, Nastya Shevchenko whispered to him: “Finally, like the good old days, we are first and second.” That year we were both on the podium, so close that I wanted to repeat the success. I am very happy for his medal. I am very happy.
— This is only your second season in major biathlon and so many medals. How can this happen?
-Actually, with my skiing, I can probably afford a fine. I can gain a minute with my legs, but beyond that it will be difficult. Today I was extremely focused and focused on filming. Not everything worked out, the last line had to be drawn to zero, there would have been a confident victory. Although overall it turned out confidently. I am happy with my three “zeroes”, I will continue to fight and prepare for the last stage.
— Isn’t there an internal principle in biathlon according to which in the “individual”, it is not necessary to run fast, but you must shoot with precision?
— Basically, I didn’t go all out throughout the course. I did four laps with a lot of reserve, I just tried to go there technically, with power and not to concentrate on the shot. But thoughts still come to mind before the final frontier. You understand that you need to shoot cleanly, a strong desire apparently interferes with this. Nevertheless, I am very happy that I managed to win gold in such a race, ”said Natalia Shevchenko on the channel.
On February 16, a mixed relay race will take place at the Spartakiad, starting at 1:30 p.m. Moscow time. Watch the broadcast live on the channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
