russian biathlete Karim Khalili said that after shooting while standing in the BET Commonwealth Cup pursuit race in Sochi, his stick strap tore, so he had to change equipment.
The competition, which took place on Saturday in Sochi, ended with the victory of 24-year-old Alexei Vagin. Second place was taken by Petr Pashchenko, third was Eduard Latypov. Khalili finished fourth.
– In the fourth lap, I overestimated the pace, because I wanted to fight not for fourth or fifth place, but for first, so I decided to take a chance. Then he came out after the counter and tore the cord, so I had to switch sticks. This is the result. It was inconvenient to finish, the lanyard of the new stick was inconvenient,” Khalili told reporters.
