“I rate my performance at seven points out of ten.  If I had shot better at the last frontier, then could have taken a higher place. Weather conditions, and I missed two targets. The bullets went to the left. Individual races, on the other hand, are a good lesson for the future. I want to say that I tried my best,” – emphasized Andrei Haurosh.

“The country-skiing part turned out to be not easy, there was a difficult up-hill climb, but for the rest of the skiing, I think, I was quite successful. Of course, I failed in shooting, I was in a hurry. Otherwise, I like the way these competitions are held,” –said Kanstantsin Baburau.

 “These are my first competition which are held in the highlands at this height.  Somewhere it also affected me. Misses ... We will work on my shooting skills.
