Once upon a time, V. Strolia made a mistake shooting both lying down and standing. On Saturday, in a 20 km personal race, the Lithuanian achieved a career record, ranking 16. In the general classification of the World Cup, after the first two starts, ours is ranked 21 (39 points). .
“Every situation has a different situation. Next time, with zero speeds and the like, there may be a similar location on the track, depending on the track. It’s fun to be on the points again, I wish I had won them steadily or at least had been close to them. Shooting today was not very good, but immediately I felt the need to shoot in a hurry, there was no certainty. I accelerated the second shots, made mistakes, a little sorry for them. In general, it went well, “he evaluated V. Strolia performance.
The second full lap – 3.3 km – was overtaken by Anykščiai along with the French strongman, who came in sixth place Quentin Fillon Maillet.
“I drove the second lap with him (French – aut. Past). The pace was very good. He was driving the third with a Belarusian who had just started. Good luck with the teammates, that’s also an advantage. When you feel good, you can stay , and if you are bad, it does not matter who slides next to you. The physical form as well as the start of the season is not bad, I surprised myself “, said V. Strolia.
Even after taking three penalty laps, Karolis Dombrovskis was ranked 55th out of 101 sprint participants. All three mistakes were made by ours in the second shooting zone, although with his usual shooting precision he was even able to overcome a teammate. In personal careers, K. Dombrovskis ran only once out of 20 and was ranked 36th.
“I will not hide my disappointment with these two starts. Yesterday the stage was changed to a distant starting number, because at the end of the track it was difficult to lift the legs with too much sugar snow. Today we have all seen what has changed the leg: the I shot. Physically, I feel quite good as I would like to start the season. But the end result is not at all, “said K. Dombrovskis.
