“The feeling of hunger is only now beginning to increase.” Reztsova – about the beginning of the Chechen Republic in summer biathlon

Russian biathlete Kristina Reztsova was pleased with the start of the Russian Summer Biathlon Championship in Chaikovsky (Perm Territory).

On Saturday, Reztsova took 20th place in the sprint with three misses on two shooting ranges and lost 2 minutes 27.8 seconds to the winner Tamara Derbusheva (0 misses).

– I missed biathlon very much. I’m glad I came and I can feel this atmosphere. In general, today I woke up with a smile, this feeling of competition and happiness that I will experience! Not to say that my result gave me a lot of happiness, but the very feeling of the race! This feeling of hunger is only now beginning to grow. Four races ahead, I think that I will reassure a little people who are watching and do not understand why everything is so bad. From start to start I will try to score.

What was bad? I was ill for a whole month and, it turns out, I trained only in September. I was in Sochi and practically did not do high-speed work. The power also drops a little. I don’t have enough competitive practice right now. Of course, I won’t get the power here, but in general, I will be able to get the pace and competitive excitement in a couple of races.

Since I was in Istomin’s group, I started the preparation according to the general plan. The first three months I trained, and then, when I got sick, everything was discussed with Vitaly Viktorovich, changed, corrected. Now I am in touch with him all the time. He writes all plans to me.

How will I train now? I think we will discuss this further. I definitely won’t go to the mountains with a group, because I just went down from there. As for Khanty-Mansiysk, I think it’s better to train with the team, ”Championship” quotes Reztsova.
