On Friday, Kazakevich won silver in the 30 km race, 26.9 seconds behind Victoria Slivko.
– On the path of [последний огневой] I certainly didn’t expect Victoria to do two penalty loops. My task was to meet my fire, to prevent those coming from behind from approaching. When I worked cleanly and left with a 10 second lag, I realized it was all real.
I tried to get a little closer on the plain. But after the final climb I already understood that Victoria was far away, she was just greeting the fans. I dedicate the money to my coach Mikhail Shashilov, he recently celebrated his birthday. I hope one day I can dedicate a gold medal to him,” Kazakevich said on .
