Russia (bbabo.net) - The winner of the individual race at the World Cup in Antholz, Russian Anton Babikov, said that the main irritant for him was the distrust on the part of the national team coaches.

"The main irritant? Distrust on the part of the coaches. I understand that they have a reason for this. But you still want to be supported, not to doubt you, even if something is not in your favor. But in this case, some mistrust, or the media all presented it that way. Nevertheless, there was no impression that they believed in me, "RIA Novosti quoted Babikov as saying.

The biathlete added that usually a victory brings much more positive emotions. But now all thoughts are connected with the Olympic Games.

Recall that on Thursday Babikov won the World Cup stage for the second time in his career. He had no equal in the individual race, but despite this success, he will still remain in the reserve at the Beijing Olympics.
