MOSCOW, January 12, Alexander Govorov. Two-time Olympic champion in biathlon Dmitry Vasiliev said that he felt sorry for the Russian biathletes Svetlana Mironova and Irina Kazakevich, who cannot translate hard work in the offseason into good results. one miss. Kazakevich finished 35th (+1.43.3) with one penalty. “There are some positive moments. Mironova shot to zero, climbed into the top ten. with zero can not get into the «flowers», it says a lot. What (coach) Shashilov did with Mironova, I can not imagine. It's a shame for the girls who plowed a lot, but there is no result. I feel sorry for Mironova and Kazakevich, they are potentially very strong athletes. Recession (Ulyana) Nigmatullina? Maybe this is not bad. There is still a month before the Olympics. The main thing is that she jumped out of this hole on time. I believe in Ulyana, «Vasiliev said. Vasiliev also appreciated the performance of Anastasia Shevchenko, who became 57- in the sprint without misses. «Shevchenko, most likely, ends up at the World Cup at these stages. Something happened to her form. It's not the level of the World Cup. There is no such big difference with the IBU Cup. She won there, but here it takes the penultimate place. the form is confused somewhere. Plus they say that she had a leg injury. Unfortunately, it is very likely that Shevchenko is falling out of the cage, «added Vasiliev.
