“Was this the last race in your career? I did not say that I would finish my career. Thanks to the fans for their support, we try every race and we will try further, ”the Match TV quoted Loginov as saying.

He noted that he considers his seventh place in the race a positive result.

“Today it was possible to fight for such prizes for prizes, but a little hurried on shooting,” the Russian biathlete added.

After winning the 2020 World Cup in Italy's Anterselva, Loginov fell under a flurry of criticism because of his doping past and stated that he was thinking about a possible career end due to constant attacks.

Earlier it was reported that Loginov did not tell what he was talking with Fourcade after the finish of the pursuit.
