Beijing Olympics: Dzinara Alimbekava finishes fifth in individual race

Dzinara Alimbekava had a claim to a medal of the Olympic Games in the 15-km individual race before the finish, leaving the fourth firing line in the third place with one penalty, but the Belarusian did not succeed at the last round, so the Olympic champion of PyeongChang took the final fifth place. German Denise Herrmann won the race. Irina Leshchenko is 41st with four additional minutes, Elena Kruchinkina is the 48th, Hanna Sola is the 54th. Our biathletes were very disappointed, in her interview to our channel, Dzinara could not hold her tears.

We hope our girls will be able to demonstrate better results in sprint on February 11, and tomorrow our male team and captain Anton Smolski will take part in individual 20 km race at 11-30.

A little earlier today, Belarusians finished their performance on the Olympic skating stadium. In a 1500-m event Yekaterina Sloyeva was the 16th and Marina Zueva occupied the 23rd position..

The Belarusian speed skaters will continue fighting for medals on February 10. The women will compete for a set of awards in a 5,000 m race.
