Biathlete Anastasia Khalili on , she explained why she did not perform a penalty loop during the sprint race in the second stage of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup.
Khalili missed a penalty loop and took a two-minute penalty in the final period. The biathlete showed the 36th result of the race.
— Tell me, how could it happen that such a disciplined athlete did not complete the penalty loop?
“I only found out when I crossed the finish line and I couldn’t believe it.” I finish and see a star. I approach our specialists and ask them why. They told me I hadn’t come full circle. I quickly ran to the hair removal booth to sync my watch with my phone, entered the app and couldn’t believe my eyes. In fact, I missed a free throw. I don’t understand how this happened. I was sure I had done two laps.
Maybe the weight of the yellow and red jersey fell on me like that. Of course I go to the races and I want to fight. I was very determined to fight and win, and maybe that played a cruel joke on me,” Khalili said on .
On Saturday, at the stage of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk, the women’s pursuit race will take place, the race will start at 9:00 (Moscow time).
