Ukrainian biathletes Anastasia Merkushyna and Artem Tyshchenko won the bronze medal in the single mixed relay at the V stage of the IBU Cup, which was held in Brezno-Osrbl, Slovakia.
In the competition, having used only two additional cartridges for 40 targets, the Ukrainian duo conceded only to the teams of Norway and the Czech Republic, taking third place.
For Anastasia, this medal was the second at this stage of the IBU Cup: she previously won bronze in the individual race.
It is interesting that 6 years ago, in 2018, at the World Cup in Pokljuka, Slovenia, Merkushina and Tyshchenko also won bronze awards in the same discipline.
We will remind
