The broken stick did not affect the result of the biathlete Anastasia Batmanova in the mass start of the Commonwealth Cup, on the contrary, it gave him sporting anger, Alexander Kuznetsov, coach of the Sverdlovsk region team, told .
Batmanova became second in the 12.5km mass start on Sunday at the Sochi stage of the PARI Commonwealth Cup. Kuznetsov broke the athlete’s stick during the race.
– How did it happen?
– In the heat of passion. There are many people and I am alone. I ran from one side of the track to the other, and by chance, while I was pouring water, Nastya put a stick under my leg. I had nowhere to go. Broke the tip at the last moment. I quickly got my bearings and called the guys, so downstairs everything was already handed over to him. Looks like she didn’t lose anything. She even said herself that it cheered her up a lot,” Kuznetsov said.
– You are not afraid ?
“Basically, it’s working time. There are guys with poles on the trail, plus there’s a downhill part so you can work with your feet. You won’t lose much. I approached her after the race, I apologized anyway. She replied that everything was fine. Such sporting anger she developed.
