The leader of the Ukrainian national biathlon team, Dmytro Pidruchny, admitted that he experienced a lot of unpleasant feelings after finishing the pursuit race at the 2nd stage of the World Cup. The 32-year-old native of Ternopil finished 19th, while in the last meters our compatriot made a real fight with Czech biathlete Michal Krzmarz.
During the finish, Dmytro fell, accidentally hitting himself in the stomach. As a result, the Ukrainian laid on the snow for some time.
"I fought to the end for every position. They shouted at me that I was 21st or 22nd, so I figured I could fight for the top twenty. So I fought with my rivals to the end. And at the end, when I had already made a split, I was a little shaky, fell down and hit my stomach with a stick. So at the finish line I had to lie down a little bit, to cry out in pain," biathlon.com.ua quoted Pidruchny as saying.
