Alexander Loginov – about the pursuit at the Chechen Biathlon Championships: “Two offensive penalties while standing prevented us from finishing comfortably, alas”

Russian biathlete Alexander Loginov on he said that errors on the lines became decisive during the pursuit race of the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship in Tyumen.

In Tuesday’s competition, Loginov took second place, making two errors. The winner was Ivan Kolotov, who avoided any mistakes. Eduard Latypov closed the top three.

— Today is the most difficult day for us in terms of track. Before that the ski slope was a little frozen, but now it has melted a lot. So I was well aware that from the first lap, it would not be easy, neither on the slopes nor in the plains. Naturally, the climbs were all interrupted.

That’s why we had to shoot today. I received two painful position penalties, which unfortunately prevented me from finishing comfortably. Nevertheless, I think all the fans were happy with such an interesting race.

When I finished, I told Anton Smolsky: “God gave me competitors for the finishing round. » I had the strength to fight to the finish line, but I hesitated a little on the viaduct and lost speed when starting off. I should have been riding at the level of Eduard (Latypov), and there it would have been a little easier. “I hope everyone enjoyed everything today,” Loginov said on .

The women’s pursuit will take place later Tuesday. Watch the live broadcast from 11:35 (Moscow time) on and Match! Arena”, as well as the sites sportbox.ru and matchtv.ru.
