ANTHOLTS (Italy), Jan 20, Alexander Govorov. Distrust on the part of coaches was a good irritant, admitted the Russian biathlete Anton Babikov, who became the winner of the individual race at the seventh stage of the World Cup in Antholz, Italy. The athlete worked without a miss at all four firing lines. He covered the distance of 20 kilometers in 49 minutes 46.8 seconds. Second place was taken by the Norwegian Tarjei Boe (two misses; backlog — 9.7 seconds), the third was the Russian Karim Khalili (one miss; +48.5), who for the first time in his career climbed to the podium in an individual race at the World Cup. «Honestly speaking «Sometimes you expect more pleasant emotions from victory than today. I don't know if it will change anything, since all thoughts are now only about the Olympics. Therefore, the effect of victory on the eve of the Games, when you are not in the squad, at least for now I don’t feel it. Of course, I estimated such a result, I believed in myself, I knew that difficult weather would be a problem for many, but for me it would be an advantage. In addition, there were irritants that motivated me to show that I was actually a good shooter. If any I pass the border with blots, this does not mean that I have ceased to be a good shooter,» Babikov told reporters.
