Biathlete of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug (KhMAO) team Ekaterina Noskova told that all the athletes of the team wanted to take revenge on the team from the Sverdlovsk region and win gold in the relay at the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship in Tyumen.
The KhMAO team, represented by Elizaveta Kaplina, Ksenia Dovgaya, Ekaterina Noskova and Kristina Reztsova, won the women’s relay on Saturday. The current winner of this discipline, the team from the Sverdlovsk region (Svetlana Mironova, Irina Kazakevich, Natalia Shevchenko and Anastasia Shevchenko) became fifth.
— Last year (at the Russian Championship) the Sverdlovsk region beat us after three years of championship, this year we won this title and we are very happy. Ugra is power!
—Why did this only happen at the end of the season?
— At the Spartakiad, our race did not work out, there were reasons for that, but let’s not talk about them now. Today everything went well for us, we had team spirit. I think every girl was determined to take revenge and take back that gold,” Noskova told .
