Congratulations to our young star, Svetlana Sleptsova, who took 2nd place in today's pursuit race!
It's a pity that Svetlana didn't have the nerves to overcome the excitement on the last lap; if it weren't for those 2 misses, she could have easily competed for 1st place.
Regarding yesterday's 3rd place (her interview with the Sport channel):
"An unpleasant incident occurred on the last climb," Sleptsova said live on the Sport channel. "I started to overtake the Frenchwoman, but she unexpectedly knocked my pole away. I waited a long time for them to return it to me. And by that time, I was in second place, as they told me, only two or three seconds behind the leader. I'm very upset that it turned out this way; I could have been second."
Sleptsova lost 26.9 seconds to the race winner, German Katja Wilhelms, and 16.4 seconds to her compatriot, Andrea Henkel, who was second.”
We hope that next time, Svetlana will definitely take first place!
Today, we're rooting for our guys, who are also competing in the pursuit race. Watch it live on the SPORT channel at 17:25 Moscow time.
P.S. Well done, Ley! By the way, they've also started showing billiards on sports channels. I also love this sport and sometimes play, although only at an amateur level.
Sincerely, VDV_forever
