Double Olympic champion Anna Bogaliy said the biathlete Leonid Kulguskin Grandmaster thinking is inherent.
Kulguskin, 19, moved from youth to juniors this year. He now trains in the Russian reserve team under Sergei Bashkirov. The team also includes Evgeny Emerkhonov, Daniil Usov, Denis Irodov, Oleg Domichek and Nikita Blinov. Last week, Kulguskin became the only biathlete to shoot accurately in the individual race at the Alfa-Bank Russian Summer Championship in Krasnoyarsk. The athlete took third place, losing 18.8 seconds to the leader Kirill Bazhin. In the sprint, Leonid took 5th place.
— A perfect shot brought Kulguskin bronze. He became the only athlete who did not make a single mistake in four stages. The other participants had at least two. Kulguskin, a little earlier at the summer stage of the Commonwealth Cup, unlike everyone else, never missed a beat in the pursuit race, thanks to which he moved from 41st place in the sprint to 21st. Does the young man have strong nerves?
“I would even say that he has the thinking of a great master.” Moreover, we already have many young men and women who follow him.
At the Russian Championship, I didn’t like the number of people working at the shooting range. They tried to do everything very quickly and ended up firing unprepared shots. It was as if they were trying to get lucky. Maybe one day you’ll get lucky, but to achieve stable results, you need to understand what to do on the shooting line, how to react to wind conditions and your condition. Leonid knows how to gather his strength.
Shooting requires a preparatory base and daily hard work. If there is no good work during childhood and adolescence, mistakes will be made at the adult level. In addition, the shooting form must be constantly maintained. At one time, we in the national team started with basic exercises, although already mature athletes came to the team, “Bogaliy was quoted as saying by the press service of the Russian Olympic Committee.
