Yurlova-Percht explained why she would remove the single-mixed from biathlon
–
Russian biathlete Ekaterina Yurlova–Percht answered the question which race she would remove from the biathlon program.
“I recently read an interview with Ole Einar Bjoerndalen and agreed with him on the single mix. This is probably more of a show.
I watched the single mix here in Anterselva, and still amazed at the speed with which the guys and girls ran as they fired. I am a more conservative person, so I would remove the single mix and leave the individual race.
Matvey Eliseev suggested giving in this relay not three, but one additional cartridge. There is a rational grain here. Maybe you don’t need to give extra rounds at all in order to reduce the dependence of the results on firing in favor of speed? There’s a skew now, ”Match TV quotes Yurlova-Percht.
