Biathlete Anastasia Shevchenko told that she did not set herself the goal of winning the pursuit race at the summer biathlon stage of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup in Krasnoyarsk.
On Saturday, Shevchenko became the winner of the pursuit, covering the 10 km distance in 31 minutes 39.3 seconds and without making any mistakes. The second was the winner of the sprint Anastasia Khalili (+6.1; 4 misses), the third was Tamara Derbusheva (+16.1; 4).
— Today I was preparing to shoot. Last season it didn’t work out, so there were very few medals. The weather in Krasnoyarsk is so interesting that the wind blows from all directions. I understood that it was my time. I set four zeros and it worked.
— Were you really afraid of Khalili after the last shooting?
“I knew she had 18 seconds (lag). The main thing was to wait for the downhill part. When I saw that no one was breathing behind me, I realized that the gold medal was mine.
Mikhail Viktorovich (Shashilov) told me about the distance, we have very good relations with him. In fact, we had a different goal, but I think he will be happy with the gold medal. What is the other goal? Enjoy the race and shoot four zeros, “Shevchenko told channel.
The men’s pursuit will take place later on Saturday. Watch the live broadcast of the race on channel from 11:55 (Moscow time), as well as on sportbox.ru and matchtv.ru.
