“Biathlete of the Ukrainian national team – about the pursuit race in Annecy”, — write: sport.ua
– Christina, you improved your position by five points, are you satisfied with the race?
– I’m more or less satisfied with the race, but again one mistake prevented me from fighting for the top 10, so there is a little sediment.
– For four firing ranges, only one open target and that – the last one, got the impression that their minds were already on the track. What is the reason for that mistake?
– The last miss was on my conscience, mentally, really, I was already on the track and did not complete the last shot.
– During the race, you were constantly in dense groups of quite strong opponents, how was it working on the track next to them? How was your last round?
– It’s loud here, but it doesn’t distract me, on the track I tried to work with the group and keep up with the girls. The skis worked well today and my health allowed me to keep up with my rivals.
Before the start, I went out with anxiety, because my throat still hurts, and this could affect my physical performance, but everything more or less went away. In the last lap, I worked in a tight group and tried to give my best, I felt good, but somewhere I was lacking from a tactical point of view.
The main thing is that tomorrow is not worse, and it would not prevent me from starting and fighting for better positions.
– The fans in Annecy are very loud, did that bother you?
– I like Annecy, the atmosphere is just great, as long as I get high and enjoy every race.
Let us remind you that Khrystyna made it to the mass start, which is scheduled for December 22 – starting at 3:45 p.m.
