ANTHOLTS (Italy), January 23, Alexander Govorov. Russian biathletes were able to to train an extreme situation in the relay at the World Cup stage in Antholz, the head coach of the Russian men's team Yuri Kaminsky told reporters. Russian biathletes finished in second place in the relay at the stage in Antholz. The victory was won by the Norwegian athletes. The Russians took 12 extra rounds and left for one penalty loop. «Today we practiced an extreme situation, from which we came out well. I won’t say that Edik pulled at the end. There was an assumption that the Frenchman and German would start quickly. When I was told that Edik was all anyway, I won back a little from them, I understood that he would be able to add and beat them at the finish line. Why was Latypov put on the last stage? We wanted to check everything before the Olympics. He’s not bad already, but shooting needs work. From the point of view of medals, this stage, everything is fine,» Kaminsky said.
