The work on summarizing Russian Biathlon World Cup held not as it should – Kravtsov & gt;. & Gt; & gt;

“Physically supposedly good I feel myself, but morally very upset. We’ll try to throw it all out of my head, run at the world Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk, and then start to think about the mistakes that were at the world Cup . The fight for second place in the overall standings is an incentive, I understand, which is close to the “total”, but after the start I can say that the season for me bad. Because the goals that have been before me in the beginning of the season put not have been realized – not one of them even if the second place, I do not comfort, “-. said Shipulin journalists

He said the final race and named the reasons for which it was not possible to compete for a medal

“Today was a chance to compete for medals, two dimensions are not passed – it is, of course, very disappointing. This is just the way of the bad luck. I felt good, tactically disintegrated, but on the last lap it was not necessary to smear, it was necessary to shoot clean, to fight for the medals. On the last lap and force an end, and very upset – probably all together “, – said Shipulin

.” A lot of effort spent on the fourth round, catching up – on his legs gave. It would be a great incentive, if there was a struggle for prizes. I think that would be turned inside out, but squeezed. There was no way, I had to take a chance on the last turn – from a minimum of 7-8 people, three shoot zero. And if you do not catch up on the fourth lap, you will not have to fight for a medal. All were on an equal footing, we do not have to invent excuses, “- he added
