Kornev withdrew from the mixed relay at the Commonwealth Cup. The biathlete ran the third stage, but stopped during the race and was forced to seek help from doctors directly on the track.
— One of the most unpleasant moments of last season was the situation in Murmansk, when you literally stopped and could not finish the relay. Now, can you tell in detail what happened then and what were your thoughts at that moment?
“At that moment I realized that my breathing was jerky, that I could move forward, but what was the point, why? I decided that it was better to go down than to continue and torture myself. I realized that they were already catching up with me and that there would be a loss. So I decided to leave the track.
– So if you continued, would you walk?
– Yes, I realized that I could go. I probably just needed a ride, and I would have walked away, but it was no use. I realized that I was losing, and it was a big loss, and I decided not to go.
— Now, don’t you regret not having succeeded at that time?
“Now I only regret one thing: having done something wrong somewhere during the season, especially in terms of health. And so no, I don’t regret not having run further,” Kornev told .
