“I am so exhausted after my individual races that now it is incredibly difficult for me to give out any emotions. In recent days, I notice myself that I do not worry either before the race or after. The Olympics are once every four years, everyone prepares for it, this is the peak for athletes. So a medal is very cool for me, especially in this season,” said Tsvetkov.
On Tuesday, Tsvetkov won the bronze medal in the relay. The Russians missed gold at the last firing line due to the mistakes of Eduard Latypov. Earlier, Tsvetkov finished fourth in the sprint and 20 km individual race in Beijing.

“I am glad that we managed to work at the turn. Very difficult weather conditions, the wind changes a lot. Not to say that it is noticeable by the flags. But it’s very difficult on the stand: I don’t know how some shots flew. I noticed when you go alone, it is even more difficult to shoot, ”said the biathlete.
