“The leader of the national team of Ukraine hopes to approach the relay in good form”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
“They made such a decision (skip race – note) through health: there are problems with the hand. After Antholz, the injury of the back also makes itself known, does not allow me to run well, as we would like. The mixed relay felt perfectly, and it was visible both in shooting and time. Unfortunately, there was an annoying fall on the track before the sprint: I damaged my left hand, and this is very hindering now. ”
“They decided with a doctor and a trainer that it is better to focus on relay and Masstarti, because there is little time after these two starts to recover and to stop the hand,” – said Podruchny.
