Victoria Slivko admitted on that she was sure that she had missed the victory in the marathon of the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship in Uvat after the final shooting range.
Earlier on Friday, Slivko won gold at the Russian Championship in the 30 km marathon. Irina Kazakevich finished second, her gap was 26.9 seconds.
“I was sure Irina would catch me.” I heard that [отставание после восьмой стрельбы сократилось до] 9 seconds, and 9 seconds for Irina, that’s nothing. I saw how far she covered the distance after lying down. I was in the lead for more than half the race. And it was already hard for me too: my shoes were creaking, my skis weren’t moving.
A very difficult race, it was harder for me than last year. It seems like last year the weather was worse, but it was easier. Maybe we are more tired this year, because the Russian championship was so intense, very emotional, our races were interesting,” Slivko told .
