The Russian biathletist Olga Zaitseva took second place in the persecution race for 10 kilometers at the seventh stage of the Biathlon Cup in the Norwegian Holmenkollennaya.
Zaitseva, who went to the sixth race, did not allow a single miss on four firing lines and lost 36.5 seconds to the German Magdalen Neuner, who twice sent bullets to milk. Earlier, the main star of the modern biathlon won the sprint , so her next victory did not become a revelation to anyone.
“Before the start, I thought that today the dominant role would play shooting. Therefore, I concentrated on it. As a result, everything happened - I won the“ silver ”with clean shooting.
In Anterselva, I had a certain decline in form. But this is absolutely normal. All athletes have rises and downs. In Holmenkollen, the family supports me - this, of course, helps a lot, ” the official website of the Russian Biathletes Union reports the words of Zaitseva.
The Belarusian biathlete Daria Domracheva closed the three leaders (a lag 51.4 seconds; 2 misses).
Another representative of the Russian Biathlon School Olga Vilukhina showed the sixth result (+1.38.4; 1 miss), Anna Bulygina took 13th place (+2.31.4; 2 misses), and Ekaterina Glazyrina crossed the finish line of the 32nd.
