Russia (bbabo.net), - The Russian women's biathlon team was left without medals in the 7.5 km sprint race. The best of ours, Kristina Reztsova, became the sixth in the final protocol.
Actually, it was on Reztsova that the main hopes of Russian fans were pinned. In the individual race, Christina stopped a step away from the podium. Summed up two misses on the firing lines. Make Reztsov one slip less - he would already have a gold medal.
In the sprint, Christina also missed twice. Once on the "lying" and on the "rack". And this time, in order to qualify for a place in the top three, it was necessary to shoot cleanly. In any case, all of the top three winners managed at the shooting range without mistakes. Norway's Marte Olsby-Røiseland took gold, Elvira Oeberg of Sweden took silver, and Dorethea Wierer of Italy took bronze.
The remaining three Russians performed unsuccessfully. Uliana Nigmatullina took 13th place (two misses), Irina Kazakevich - 20th (one miss), Svetlana Mironova - 47th (three misses).
