MOSCOW, January 8, Alexander Govorov. Biathletes Maxim Tsvetkov and Anton Babikov have good chances to get into the Russian Olympic team and play in Beijing, said sports commentator Dmitry Guberniev. Anton Babikov and Kristina Reztsova won today a single mixed double at the World Cup in Oberhof. The Russian national team took the fifth place in the mixed relay. At the first stage, the Russian team was represented by Maxim Tsvetkov. “The biathlon is wonderful. With the circle we were thrown far at first, and then we returned and brought everyone 40 seconds. As for the mixed relay, Tsvetkov showed himself well. Look at how Tsvetkov and Babikov added. I did not really believe in Tsvetkov, but if he performs brilliantly, then this is only a plus. The question is how many people will go to Beijing. If there are six people, this is one alignment. If five, then another. Tsvetkov is not perfect, he missed four times in the sprint. Tomorrow will be a defining day for him, like the stage in Ruhpolding. Although it is quite obvious that Tsvetkov and Babikov are actively knocking on the Olympic bus that leaves for Beijing. both have, «Guberniev said.
