Biathlete Metelya: “Our skis don’t work at every start. I don’t even want to go to the race with such equipment.”
Biathlete Victoria Metelya said on Match TV that she was disappointed with the preparation of her equipment for the competition.
On Friday, Metelya took 11th place in the sprint at the third stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Demino (Yaroslavl region).
— What didn’t work out today?
— I’m upset with today’s result. I did everything that depended on me, gave my all. But our skis don’t work at every start, and this is very disappointing. To be honest, I don’t even want to go to the start line with these skis.
– What is the reason why the skis don’t go?
– I don’t know. We have a large service team that works on this every day, but apparently we cannot choose the very option that will suit the athletes and allow them to perform comfortably,” Metelya said on Match TV.
On Saturday, the Russian Cup will feature women’s and men’s pursuit races.
