The hero of the biathlon was Evgeny Ustyugov, who won GOLD in the mass start. Yesterday, Ustyugov also showed good results in the 30 km race. He had every chance to become at least a silver medalist, but in the very last downhill stretch, he was overtaken by the Swedes... it was very disappointing that he couldn't hold on, but today he finally pleasantly surprised our fans. Unfortunately, I missed it, which is a shame.
And in the same mass start, Olga Zaitseva won SILVER in the women's relay, showing all the other women in our country who have been performing poorly so far how to win! We need more victories like this – gold and silver in one day, and the more, the better.
Separately, it should be noted that the Russian national hockey team defeated the Czechs with a score of 4-2. This was like a breath of fresh air after the defeat against Slovakia, after which I couldn't recover. We can still redeem ourselves – the hockey players didn't lose heart!
