Russian biathlete Alexander Povarnitsyn on he said that at his stage he collected all the team’s failures in the mixed relay at the YANGPUR Cup of the International Club Biathlon League (MLKB) in Khanty-Mansiysk.
On Sunday, the team of Povarnitsyn, Eduard Latypov, Polina Shevnina and Kristina Reztsova won the mixed relay. After the first shooting range, Povarnitsyn entered the race in 12th place.
— Today, we had the consistency of “achievements”. Mine is to never give up, to always fight until the end. I gathered on myself all the intrigues that could be mustered. I was sure that everything would go smoothly for the girls,” Povarnitsyn said on .
“It’s a relay race, a team race, where you must never give up. I understood that there were three steps ahead. I relied on my strength. Besides, we have such cool girls that we could calmly correct the situation, ”noted Latypov .
“I managed to get through it calmly.” I worked calmly with myself and that’s it. “I gave it my all, I pushed myself,” she said Chevnina .
— How difficult it was, during the last stage, to walk alongside Slivko. Did you feel like you were competing in the World Cup or the Olympics?
– I beg you (laughs). No, nothing like that happened. Whether it’s Slivko or Tiril Eckhoff. The bottom line is that when you’re running and someone is behind you, you need to make sure they stay further away and don’t get closer. That’s why, from the first climb, they immediately told me that I had to get through it and then we would see if I caught up or not. Ultimately, I just tried not to give him the opportunity to get close,” she said. Reztsova .
The first stage of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup will take place from November 22 to 24 in Khanty-Mansiysk.
