KHANTY-MANSIYSK, April 1, Alexander Govorov. Russian biathlete Anastasia Goreeva told reporters that she would give herself five points out of five for her performances this season.
Goreeva became the owner of a large Crystal Globe following the results of the Russian Cup — 2022/23.
“Tomorrow will be the last race, and there we will sum up the final results, but even now I can say that I am satisfied with the season. I went through it smoothly and without illness. On a five-point scale, I would rate my performance this season at five out of five. «I won't go to Uvat anymore, I'm leaving home and I will rest and recover. This season we had more than 40 races, this is more than enough. The Uvat marathon is too difficult a race. Just now I remembered that today is April 1, but no one has me yet I didn’t tease. I hope that they won’t do anything bad to me (laughs),” Goreeva said.
The biathlete also appreciated her performance in the relay race at the Russian Championship in Khanty-Mansiysk, where the team of the Moscow Region, in which Goreeva ran, became a silver medalist.
“Second place is a good result for the team of the Moscow Region. We have already imposed a fight more than once, but, unfortunately, at the last stage, everything was destroyed to smithereens. But today I ran the last stage. I am glad that everything I managed to run the last stage — my personal initiative. I was already given such an honor in the summer, but then I flunked the relay. Now I wanted to take revenge. I didn’t particularly follow the course of the race, because I warmed up. I saw five minutes before my start that there were a lot are mistaken because of the wind and realized that it is real to fight for prizes. As for the Sverdlovsk region, their victory is natural. All of their girls are members of the Russian national team. Despite the fact that they have two penalty loops, they were unbeatable today. Two minutes of advantage is a lot,” added Goreeva.
