Biathlete Daniel Usov who won the sprint at the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup stage in Murmansk, said that he was not ready to receive such attention after the race and that during his career he did not only gave an interview once.
On Friday, Usov, 23, covered the 10 km in 25 minutes 38.6 seconds and made no mistakes. Second place went to Alexander Povarnitsyn (+4.2; 1 miss), the leading trio was completed by Eduard Latypov (+5.6; 2 misses).
—Are you ready for the attention that has been focused on you now?
“I wouldn’t say I’m ready, but I’ve had to adapt.”
— This is the first victory of your career, but how many times have you given interviews?
— Once in Ufa, the interview was unsuccessful.
— Did you imagine your first victory?
“I didn’t even imagine it, I just wanted it.” I just wanted to work for two zeros, that’s what I presented. And when I hit the last shot standing, I realized, “Yes, I did it.” I managed”. When I finished, I followed Edik, I literally counted his seconds, but at the finish line I realized that he would no longer overtake me, ”the correspondent reports from , reporting Usov’s comments.
