At the Olympic Games this Wednesday, Latvian biathlete Baiba Bendika showcased impressive skiing skills, finishing as the second fastest skier in the 15-kilometer individual race but landed in 22nd place overall due to four shooting errors. In a conversation with the event organizers, Bendika reflected on her experience, noting that she felt great and the skis were notably fast, although she lamented her second shooting round, where a lack of calm breathing affected her performance.

Bendika highlighted that her start was strong and credited her skiing as the best of her career so far. She recognized that her physical condition is at its peak, which she attributed in part to her coach Ilmārs Bricis. They have faced numerous challenges together, and she expressed gratitude for their preparation leading up to this event. Bendika aims to focus on improving her shooting performance and is motivated to build upon this experience for future competitions with positive emotions.

Meanwhile, fellow biathlete Estere Volfa is also gearing up for her next competition at the Olympic Games, although further details about her performance were not disclosed in the article. Overall, the situation indicates a positive outlook for the Latvian team as they prepare for subsequent events, fostering confidence and reinforcing their training efforts to succeed at the international level.
