russian biathlete Irina Kazakevich said she was very concerned after the points left on the mat during the pursuit race during the Sochi leg of the PARI Commonwealth Cup.
Kazakevich finished fifth on Saturday. After working on the front row, the biathlete left her glasses on the mat, which is prohibited by the regulations. The judges did not impose a fine on the athlete.
“When I put the rifle on, I grabbed my hand on the helmet,” Kazakevich told reporters. The goggles were on the helmet. I was actually very concerned, because as far as I know when you leave something behind you get fined for it. But it was unintentional for me. The camera shows that I didn’t just leave them. I hope there will be no penalties for this.
– Was it difficult to run further without glasses?
– In fact, you go there and do not pay attention. The main thing is not to drive near other athletes, as the sticks can catch the eye.
