MOSCOW, February 8, Pavel Levkovich. Maxim Tsvetkov had to withstand the last shot in the individual race at the Olympic Games in Beijing, despite the loss of time, said the former head coach of the Russian biathlon team Anatoly Khovantsev. The victory was won by the Frenchman Quentin Fillon-Maillet. The best of the Russians was Maxim Tsvetkov, who finished fourth (+34.9 seconds; 1 miss). Alexander Loginov finished tenth (+1:40.2; 3), and Eduard Latypov 11th (+2:25.7; 3). The stability was not very good, it was necessary to exhale, lose another five to seven seconds, but win. As for Loginov, he began to win back on the fourth lap, exceeded the speed, and this played a cruel joke. I always say that this is biathlon, very it's a shame,» Khovantsev said. The former head coach of the Russian national team is sure that the team is still waiting for medals in the upcoming races at the Olympics. “First of all, Loginov has chances, he has excellent speed. First of all, he needs to take a good place in the sprint,” the specialist added.
