Triple Olympic medalist Edward Latypov who won the 100-meter prologue of the Alfa-Bank Russian Biathlon Cup in Tyumen, told that he made a mistake in the decisive race, because of which he had to take risks.
In the final, Latypov, representing the Chuck-Chuck Norris team, covered the distance in 12.51 seconds. Second place went to Viktor Plitsev (“One Right”), 0.01 seconds behind the Olympic medalist. The third was Denis Irodov (“One Right”).
– Of course, I knew it would be very difficult with Vitka. The other day we were speeding up a bit. I understood it would be difficult, today it was also difficult and we were literally inches apart.
— What grade would you give yourself for the final? Yuri Kaminsky gave it a rating of three pluses or four minuses.
“I tripped, so in the end I had to take a risk and take a step.” If I had maintained my concentration until the end, I would not have had to expose myself so harshly.
— Is it very difficult to get started in such a mess?
“Yes, based on intuition (laughs),” Latypov told .
On Thursday, a mixed relay will take place on the Tyumen stage. Live broadcast from 8:35 Moscow time on the channel. You can also follow the progress of the races on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
