At first we warm up, then we fight
how Tyumen loves biathlon and that the European championship means to the city, it is possible to argue as much as necessary, to provide statistical data on structure of participants and to argue, whether these starts on the eve of the World Cup are necessary. However it is the best of all this question will be answered by for whom these competitions — the audience are held. On weekday of a tribune with a capacity of 8500 audience were filled percent on 80 even prior to starts. People did not manage to find excess tickets at all the last in biathlon. So, Andrey Makoveev admitted that could not get tickets even to the friends.
"We at first warm up today, and then we fight" — such phrase the head coach of the national team of Bulgaria Nikolay Zakharov meets me at the trainer's exchange, hinting that the main forces of team are thrown on the evening mixed relay where the surprise is possible. The majority of teams also threw there the strongest fighters, and on this background ours of steam Victoria Slivko and Anton Babikov looked the favourite.
"Do not drive Vika, warn Anton"
Slivko Adjusted by tribunes from the first meters rushes to fight and begins firing for some seconds before competitors. Unusual tactics does not prevent to begin with the central target in any way rate of fire. The Victoria closes all targets and creates a reserve. The chief conductor and the master of trainer's tactics Alexander Kasperovich reports b on a handheld transceiver: "Do not drive Vika. Let goes on more quietly". On a way the Tyumen young hope at an exit from stadium almost has a wide judicial back. Vika manages to avoid collision and quietly approaches to a boundary. "Warn Anton, let prepares. The baton pass right after firing" — growls in a handheld transceiver Kasperovich's voice.

the main thing Remark actually on business. As the Tyumen mentor Leonid Guryev told, on the Russian Cup many trainers and participants at all did not know rules supermiksta, and here we have in team two debutants. Babikov accepted relay without adventures and even increased a separation from rivals thanks to two more pure boundaries. On the trainer's exchange conversations went, say, the first installation on which Russians adjusted fire, is adjusted in a special way and is always closed at any necessary moment. Was at this phenomenon and quite rational explanation. The first installation — the most protected from a lateral wind as it is located near a big embankment.

Babikov supported an intrigue
On the second part of a stage of Slivko wrote down in the asset already four faultless boundaries, and Babikov dared to relax or if so it is pleasant to you more, to support an intrigue. Hardly on a shooting range the breeze played, the Ufa resident made two misses, and then repeated maneuver on "rack". Rivals, however, too were far from an ideal and could not come nearer. Tribunes waited for the effective finish with a flag, but the configuration of the route did not allow Babikov to receive a treasured banner to an exit to a home straight. As a result all the same effective and joyful victory.
In fight for the second and third places most successful. It was a pity only for Swedes and their ascending asterisk Hanna Eberg . The junior champion carried out the stages extremely surely, and here Tobias Arwidson pumped up skilled and on the last two circles did not sustain speed of rivals.

"All noticed that you are a fumbler"
the Beginning of the championship it turned out such as it is necessary. Young victors Babikov and Slivko left excellent impression not only on the route, but also beyond its limits. At first Anton suggested to take Vika on the World Cup only under supermikst which can debut in the official program of the championship next year. Applying for a rank of the most nice Russian biathlonist Slivko returned the favor: "Today very much endured about Anton's firing, and here still a wind, misses, additional cartridges. All after all noticed that you are a fumbler". Unfortunately, the first victory becomes for Victoria here and the last. The solution of a trainer's staff she will not take part in personal races.

the Forgotten rifle did not shoot
even if the experimental structure in supermikste led to success, from the mixed four, except a victory, and there was nothing to wait. Anastasia Zagoruyko at the first stage passed some kind of casting in the main team. In case of success could not only get on the World Cup, but also run relay there. This thought and strong support of tribunes also unsettled not the most psychologically steady sportswoman. Even by preparation for Zagoruyko's start forgot a rifle, and then and on the route there was itself not the. As a result any of three additional cartridges did not close the last target, and to a baton pass of the competitor received odds more than a minute. Anfisa Reztsova , standing on a shooting range, could sigh quietly.
In the same situation more than once at the first stage and . This time the blonde from Krasnoyarsk was tranquillity and though on the route and did not come nearer to leaders from Germany and Slovakia, on a boundary operated faultlessly, and after race supported the girlfriend on command, having asked not to write-off it. However the veterans of biathlon who were present at stadium at a large number, were unshakable — Zagoruyko's examination filled up.

of the Tribune told it "face"
to Matvei Yeliseyev the quite good fellow traveler — the skilled Norwegian Henrik L'Abe-Lunn for whom recently diagnosed asthma. Matvei already in the first lifting won back some seconds, but further a game of tag went not so vigorously. And after the first boundary where it was taken with additional cartridges, lag almost reached one and a half minutes. To the finish Matvei who has appeased at last excitement restored the status quo and sent to the last circle of Garanichev with lag in only 42 seconds. Here the Russian lifesaver also had to work.
Before start Garanichev properly warmed up, listened to the last parting words of Rikko Gross who as if the father mentor specially went to a start zone to support the ward. The charge of energy of a distance and tribune which at each appearance of the local favourite blew up a thunder. It is remembered how in due time Vladimir Alikin told to Maxim Chudov : "Face" — and that won back so much, how many it is necessary. To the last circle from advantage of the Slovak by the name of Otchenash there was such scanty advantage that that needed to whisper only the surname and to ask about mercy. He did not wait for it though Garanichev forced to be fidgety, having pulled out only a second in the validolny finish without ottalkivaniye. It turned out not absolutely on-shipulinski, but with the same brilliant result.
