Biathlete of the Moscow region team Polina Shevnina told that her successful result in the pursuit race of the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship was due to the purchased flag of the region, with which she came to the award ceremony.
Shevnina finished second in the women’s pursuit on Tuesday, but in the final protocol she took first place thanks to the winner’s result Anna Soly who represents the Belarusian national team, is not taken into account.
— Tell us about the fate of the flag of the Moscow region, with which you were present at the award ceremony. Did he come to your house yesterday?
– Yes yes. When we were at the Kurtash training camp in Bashkiria, the idea arose to order a flag for our region. The delivery just arrived here yesterday. I say: “All the regions have flags, and they win, but not us” (laughs). She said that as soon as we have a flag, we will immediately have a gold medal. This is why we haven’t won a single victory all season! “We should have taken the flag earlier,” Shevnina told .
