European Champion-2019, 5-fold Champion of Baku Islamiad-2017 Azerbaijani shooter Ruslan Lunev, unsuccessful at the Olympics in Tokyo in both types of the program, admitted that she showed weak results, but, in his opinion, that is, the reason.
“That ended for me the Olympics in Tokyo,” wrote Lunev in his facebook. – The results mediocre, of course, the year of the pandemic could not but affect. While my rivals trained with their teams, my shooting was just closed all winter. And Shooting without a tire, how to swim without water (smiles). After a small rest, I will begin to prepare for the next season, taking into account all the mistakes. I hope quarantine will not affect my preparation for Olympics-2024 in Paris. “
Recall, in shooting from the rapid small-caliber pistol with 25 meters, Lunev at the current Olympiad took the 21st place, and earlier in the shooting from a pneumatic gun – 20th.
