SOCHI, August 27, Alexander Govorov. Eduard Latypov told reporters what he planned to compete for victory in the pursuit race at the Commonwealth Cup Summer Biathlon in Sochi, but his body was too excited after the sprint. Latypov took third place in the pursuit race, losing to Alexei Vagin and Petr Pashchenko, who finished first and second respectively. «Finish me I liked it, but it was difficult with shooting. Physical condition did not allow me to work cleanly. My body was still excited from the sprint, I didn’t go to the end. I had to shoot faster, but I tried to work reliably. This prevented me. In general, I was satisfied with the race, I kept the third position, although I planned to fight for victory, there were chances for this. I can’t say which is more difficult — running in Beijing in the cold or in Sochi in the heat. It’s not easy either there. In any case, you need to learn to get used to the weather, mobilize your organism. Professional athletes must be able to adapt to any conditions. Tomorrow will also be hard, but what to do. Let's rest and run,» Latypov said.
