Biathlete of the Sverdlovsk region team Anastasia Shevchenko noted that she felt a great burden of responsibility during the mass start of the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship, because it depended on her performance whether their team would climb the entire podium.
Anastasia Shevchenko won bronze at the end of the race on Sunday. Natalia Shevchenko took first place, Irina Kazakevich took second place. All of them represent the team from the Sverdlovsk region, which placed fifth in the relay on Saturday.
— After the fourth shoot, I started third, behind me were Nastya Goreeva and Kristina Reztsova. I had the biggest responsibility to maintain third place so that all the athletes in our group were in the top three.
— Did fifth place in the relay help you adopt a new attitude and re-educate yourself?
— We talked with the girls, no one was offended by anyone. This result was ours, we were only ready for fifth place. Now we have been rehabilitated,” Shevchenko told .
Later on Sunday, the channel, as well as the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru, will broadcast the program “Biathlon with Dmitry Guberniev” (11:20 Moscow time), after which the men’s relay will begin on the air ( 11:50 a.m.).
