Karim Khalili said on that he would share with Daniel Serokhvostov cash prize for winning the mass start in the YANGPUR Cup of the International Club Biathlon League (ILCL).
The 12.5 km mass start took place on Saturday in Khanty-Mansiysk. Khalili took first place, covering the distance in 35 minutes 33.6 seconds and missing a shot from four shooting ranges. Serokhvostov finished second, Belarusian Anton Smolsky third. Khalili and Serokhvostov represent the “Profinski Biathlon Club” team. At the finish, they took their team flag and decided on the fly who would win first place using a game of rock-paper-scissors.
For the victory, Khalili should receive 1 million rubles, Serokhvostov will receive 500 thousand rubles for money.
“We talked a few days ago and decided that if such a situation happened in the final round, we would get there and decide rock-paper-scissors who would win. We entered the last lap, when I saw that Daniil had missed twice, I realized that he would come towards me. He comes and says, “We’re doing what we agreed.” » We shouted for the flag to be brought out, everything was prepared.
At the finish, as we passed the checkered flag, we intervened and Daniil lost too quickly. He definitely would have won today, he felt good. I think he could have escaped on the last lap. And if we had reached the finish line together, it would have happened the same way.
Winning today feels a lot better than last year. You could say we shared the victory with a friend. I am very happy. We immediately decided that if we did this, we would divide all the winnings in half, so that there would be no hard feelings,” Khalili said on .
Serokhvostov also spoke about second place.
—Wasn’t it a shame to lose at rock-paper-scissors?
– It’s probably a shame. This is my most disappointing loss, but what can I do? We agreed and talked. I gave in. “I still wanted to beat him in the end,” Serokhvostov said on .
Later Saturday there will be a women’s mass start. The start of the race is scheduled for 12:30 Moscow time.
Live broadcast of the mass start will be available from 11:45 a.m. on and Match! Arena”, as well as the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
