In the match, in which a one minute penalty is awarded for an inaccurate shot, Karolis Dombrovskis was the most successful, ranking 38th (shot 1 + 0 + 0 + 0). Tomas Kaukėnas, who passed the intrigue until the last shooting range, was the fastest among Lithuanians on the track and ranked 53rd (1 + 0 + 0 + 2), while Vytautas Strolia remained 66th (0 + 0 + 2 + 0).
K. Dombrovskis scored three credit points in the World Cup. He also added one in Friday’s 10km sprint event, where he finished 40th.
“I felt good enough on the track today, I’m satisfied with my shot, I managed to do what I can. But the seat was sad, I was hoping to fight for higher places with so much shooting and maybe even hit my record. Unfortunately, we missed it. long before him, and I don’t know why, we don’t analyze, even though we don’t feel well, ”said K. Dombrovskis.
The biathlete does not agree that fitness was affected by the European Championships at the end of January. The Lithuanians were much faster there: V. Strolia shone in the chase match, and the members of the mixed relay recorded the historic result, crossing the finish line in the fourth.
“I would not like to blame the Eurocup, because there are countries that did the same program, participated in the Eurocup and in Pokliuka it went quite well. For example, the Latvian Andrei Rastogujev, the Ukrainian Artyom Pryma or some other Estonian ”, said K. Dombrovskis.
K. Dombrovskis, who performed better in the world championship, evaluated his performance in the world championship as satisfactory.
“In the ten point system, I would rate my World Championship performance at 7.5, maybe 8. I symbolically improved my sprint result, but I didn’t show anything good in the chase. Today I can enjoy shooting, although the speed surprised me. in a negative sense, ”said the biathlete.
At the time, T. Kauknas was happy with his physical form: if it had not been for two incorrect shots at the last shooting range, the participant of the two Olympics would have jumped into the top 20.
“Starting the season was tough, fun, I can fight at least a little bit. The form is not great, but looking at how the preparation went, I had a coronavirus at the beginning of the season, going quite well. And the way of shooting is very fluctuating, I’m not sure, “said T. Kaukėnas.
At 53rd in a personal match, he is the highest since the December 2019 World Cup sprint race in Estesund, Sweden. It is true that he claimed high positions in the Planet Cup stage and the European Championship in Antholce, Italy, in January, but he made three mistakes in the fourth shooter of the personal races.
“I remember the Olympics in Sochi, we analyzed that then the inaccurate shots were due to fatigue. This year, I asked Antholce again for fatigue because his legs were shaking, also in the European Championship. But today my legs did not tremble. , I kind of felt the fear that arose because the last shooter had no luck all the time.
So far, I can’t cope with the subconscious, that’s why those shots fly by. Today I was not tired, I saved my strength before the shooting, but I was afraid to press the trigger ”, admitted T. Kaukėnas.
The champion of the planet was the discovery of the season by Sturl Holm of Laegreide. Norway closed all targets and 16.9 sec. she also surpassed the indefatigable German Arnda Peiffer. The bronze went to another Norwegian Johannes Dale (0 + 1 + 0 + 0), who was 40.9 seconds behind.
The Lithuanian biathletes lost 5 minutes to the champion. 1.7 seconds, 5 min. 39.1 sec. and 6 min. 38.2 sec.
On Thursday, T. Kaukėnas and Natalija Kočergina will participate in the mixed relay race.
Our team will finish the planetary championship on Saturday with a men’s relay race.
