CAMPIONATI DEL MONDO SU PISTA

Coach of the Russian cycling team Vladimir Kiriltsev was very happy for Anastasia Voinova and Daria Shmeleva: “To begin with, when we stepped out on the floor of the velodrome, I was sure that we would win a medal. At the outset we were ready for the second place, because Anastasia had a small problem with her foot and couldn’t train at full pace, but when we came second in qualifications, – I realized: only victory! So much work were done, we have to win. However, Daria had taken a tumble following a false started after struggling to get out of her gate, and honestly I was afraid that she had lost winning mindset. I saw, that she had cautiously gone on to re-start, but everything went fine. I have every reason to be satisfied with the result. I would like to thank all our supporters, we deserved to win tonight. We still have some force margin, we tested ourselves before the Olympics, our next race is in Rio, and I’m sure we’ll show a good result. “
