On Sunday, in the mass start of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup summer biathlon stage in Krasnoyarsk, Sheller took 13th place with five standing penalties (including four at the third shooting range).
Belarusian won Dinara Smolskaya .
— Do you have any idea what happened to Julia Sheller today? I was in the top 3, but then I made four mistakes in the ranking.
“She walked in the group of leaders, for her it was an important step. She came, prepared as expected, but she had a very strong tremor in her legs. This is an emotional nervous tension. That is why we must also work on this component. The trembling knees, as they say, did not allow her to make a quality shot. But at the next shooting line she had calmed down and the shots returned to the right path.
As a rule, this happens at very important and responsible moments of the Olympic Games and World Championships, when even titled athletes make mistakes at the last shooting range. So this will be a small lesson for Yulia, I think she will be ready for it. And I would not say that this is a mistake, it is just a very excited state of the nervous system. I think that in the next races she will be calmer and these penalty rounds will be a thing of the past for her.
— Maybe there was an additional responsibility, since Yulia competes on her national track?
– Of course. As they say, houses and walls help. But sometimes such hyper-responsibility leads to small mistakes, “Padin told .
