I thought about my country and fans' belief in me at that moment - Y. Khrustaleva
ALMATY. February 4. KAZINFORM 'A bit disappointing 'silver' in sprint spurred me today. I wanted to gladden my fans who ardently supported me at the stadium', winner of women's biathlon individual 15 km race Yelena Khrustaleva said.
According to her after first misses she figuratively speaking stopped for a moment and calmed down. 'It is much easier to shoot in a prone position that's why it was easier then. Approaching the shooting range I was ready to sacrifice a lot for accurate shooting. It was too foggy and I spent much time on aiming. At that very moment I thought about my country and fans and about their support and belief in me. I could not miss in such a situation and after it I almost flew to the stadiuim', Y. Khrustaleva said adding that tomorrow was going to be a very important day. They will have to run a relay race.
