Mikyska, 24, won silver in the same event in Osrblie last year and was in the final fourth shot for the gold medal. However, he entered two penalty shootouts and had to compete with Sweden’s Oscar Andersson and Latvia’s Andres Rastorguyevs for bronze, whom he eventually beat by two tenths of a second. Mikyska accompanied Ukrainian opponents Dmytro Piedruchyni and Artem Tishchenko on the podium.
“I’m very happy with the medal. I had covid-19 a month ago and didn’t come here with high expectations. Plus, we had a pretty tough trip yesterday. I didn’t feel too well, but I’m happy to have made it to the final. It’s just a bonus,” Mikiska was delighted.
Czech representative Jonáš Mareček, who was second in today’s competition, finished sixth, and former Olympic and World Championship medalist Michal Krčmář finished 21st.
Chavatova makes up for the loss
Chavatova left the shooting range for the fourth time after two faults in fourth place and lost to third place Kamila Zukova by ten seconds. However, in roller skiing, the thirty-one-year-old representative overcame the loss and finally won the bronze medal. Tereza Voborníková took fifth place, and Slovakia’s Paulína Bátovská Fialková won ahead of Finland’s Suva Minkkinenová.
The Estonian Championships will continue with the sprint events on Saturday. Czech number one Markta Davydova is missing in Estonia. “Every year, Markta is pulled out of the summer racing merry-go-round. That’s why we agreed that he will miss the summer world championships. He prefers high-quality training,” women’s coach Lukas Dostal explained on the association’s website.
