Biathlete Tamara Derboucheva After the sprint of the Commonwealth Cup stage, she noted the support of spectators and the weather in Krasnoyarsk.

The gap to the winner Anastasia Khalili (21 minutes 59.5 seconds, one failure) was 15.8 seconds. The second place went to Anastasia Shevchenko (+15.8, no failures).
– I am happy. As it was the first day back at school, it was a bit exciting, like the first time in CP (smiles). But today the weather was beautiful, there was no rain, it was sunny, there were a lot of spectators – I loved everything.
“There was another error.” What caused the error?
“I think I already tried to move away from the line a little bit and because of that I hesitated with my pole and I also lost time.” There were so many coaches on the last lap, everyone was cheering me on, I was just thinking about running forward.
— Have you ever thought about trying to compete for gold?
— Yes, everyone was shouting that there was a slight lag. They said 10 seconds, I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I tried to fight.
— As a result, at the finish line we shared second place with Nastya Shevchenko. Have you ever been on the same step of the pedestal with someone?
– For the first time. It’s quite interesting, but I liked it (smiles).
— How many days before the start of the competition did you arrive here?
— We arrived the night before last. Yesterday we had an official training session and today we are running.
— There was no jet lag?
— Everything was fine, because we went to bed early. Here, the races are held during the day, so the time difference doesn’t affect him much.
— Would you like to come to Krasnoyarsk in winter?
– Yes, there is a good track here. I remember being here at the Universiade with Irishka [Казакевич]”I always loved everything,” Derbusheva told .
