– Thanks to the coaches. I myself was quite good at deployment, but they competently suggested to me where I should add, where I should let go, in order to sit in the right flow. Everyone worked. I took a risk, knowing that Vika (Slivko) was shooting a little slower, hoping that she would miss. And she missed (laughs), Reztsova said on .
— It was a difficult stage, it was difficult in terms of shooting, I couldn’t concentrate. But I fought the last round with dignity, I wanted to give as many seconds as possible to the girls so that they could continue at a good pace and with enthusiasm,” said Elizaveta Kaplina.
“Lisa started our relay and put us in a team spirit. We are great,” added Ksenia Dovgaya.
“I could not understand the state of Kristina (Reztsova), because she and Vika (Slivko) changed places, overtook each other. The last shooting was particularly distressing. Christina decided to take a risk and shoot quickly. It paid off, she’s great. Kristina confirmed that she should run the fourth stages,” concluded Ekaterina Noskova.
