The Russian biathlon team opens the 2016-2017 season. On the last weekend of November, the Biathlon World Cup started, which the Russian team begins as one of the favorites. Well, the leader of the Russian team itself - and one of the main contenders for victory in the individual World Cup - is, of course, Anton Shipulin.

Composition of the Russian national team for the 2016-2017 Biathlon World Cup

The composition of the Russian biathlon team for the first stage of the 2016-2017 World Cup in Ostersund, Sweden is a guide for the entire long term. In general, in the season biathlon 2016-2017 composition of the Russian team is selected quite powerful.

Judge for yourself. The leader of the Russian men's biathlon team, as we have already said, is Anton Shipulin. The second number of the men's team will be Evgeny Garanichev, and the third will be from St. Petersburg Dmitry Malyshko. On the other hand, Maxim Tsvetkov and Anton Babikov, who has been rapidly progressing recently, will compete with Malyshko for the status of third. Well, Matvey Eliseev and Yuri Shopin, included in the Russian national team for the first stage of the World Cup at the last moment, are seen as such dark horses. Shipulin and Tsvetkov will run the mixed relay, Garanichev will run the individual race, and Babikov will run the mixed single.

The men's immediate reserve includes Alexey Slepov and Petr Paschenko, who may appear in the Russian national team in the coming stages.

Russian women's biathlon team

Our Russian women's biathlon team also, of course, has its obvious leader - Olga Podchufarova. Moreover, our women’s biathlon team also has a distinct second number – Ekaterina Glazyrina. But Svetlana Sleptsova, who has not competed at the World Cup for three years, will be drawn into the season at first, remembering the competitive rhythm.

Let us add that Tatyana Akimova and Victoria Slivko were also included in the Russian women's team for the stage in Ostersund. Akimova and Sleptsova will perform in the mixed relay, Podchufarova will run the individual race, and Slivko will run the mixed single. In reserve are young Ulyana Kaisheva and Irina Uslugina.

It is also worth noting that there is a generational change in the Russian women's biathlon team. The leaders of the recent past - Olga Zaitseva and Olga Vilukhina - ended their careers. And Ekaterina Yurlova gave birth to a child, and in the near future we can hardly expect her return to biathlon.

Just recently the intrigues and incredible experiences ended last season in biathlon, as the time has come for the 2017 World Cup in this sport. The most strong athletes from France, Germany, Norway, Russia and other countries.

Unlike the world championship, these competitions are not held at the same time. To win the tournament, you must overcome all nine stages, which are usually organized on different continents, with maximum performance. Therefore, the winner must have excellent physical fitness and a calm character.

2017 World Cup Schedule

Biathlon World Cup 2017 will begin on November 28 this year. It is at the end of November that the first stage begins in the city of Ostersund (Sweden). The tournament will continue until March 19 next year, the last competition day will be held in Oslo (Norway). As a result, this sporting event will continue for six months.

Each stage will last about seven days and will include six different varieties races that will take place in nine cities around the world. This number of Biathlon World Cup venues has remained unchanged since the 1999–2000 season.

World Cup 2017

On this moment Nine cities have been identified that will host the competition on their territory. One of them is in Asia, and eight others are in Europe.

Russia – Tyumen
Norway – Oslo
South Korea - Pyongchang
Italy – Antholz
Germany – Ruhpolding
Germany – Oberchow
Czech Republic – Nove Mesto
Slovenia. – Pokljuka
Norway – Ostersund

It is especially pleasant to see our Tyumen in the list of cities. Athletes will compete with each other in the Russian city from 03/06/2017 to 03/12/2017.

It's no secret that during the season, in addition to the World Cup, athletes will also take part in other championships. First of all, the conversation is about the IBU Cup and the world championship. Wherein individual achievements athletes at the World Biathlon Championships next year will be included in the overall World Cup rankings. As a result, it can be characterized as an additional stage.

Types of disciplines

The following men's and women's disciplines have been determined, in which athletes will find out which of them is better.

Women's and men's relay: 4x7.5/4x6
Mixed relay: 2x6+2x7.5
Mixed single relay: 1x6+1x7.5 km

For both women and men, the mixed relay races have the same distance. But it is necessary to take into account one important point. The thing is that points acquired in all types of biathlon world cup relay races do not count toward the athlete’s overall standings. Only points in individual championships, of which there are four varieties in the tournament, are taken into account.

Mass start: 15/5
Pursuit: 5/10
Sprint: 10/5
Women's and men's individual race: 15 and 20 km respectively

Potential Winners

The absolute champion of the last few seasons among men is Martin Fourcade (France). This athlete lifted the coveted trophy over his head 4 times from 2012 to 2016. Regarding women, we can say that from among them it is impossible to single out a clear favorite. Over the past five years, Daria Domracheva, Tura Berger, Kaisa Mäkäränen, and Madgalena Neuer have been on the first line. The last two athletes did this twice.

It’s a shame that our biathletes have not often pleased us with victories in this championship. The most titled in the Biathlon World Cup Russian athlete is Chepikov Sergey. He managed to get gold award back under the USSR, at the 1990-1991 tournament. A few years later, already with the Russian flag, Vladimir Drachev found himself best athlete in this tournament (1996).

The situation is approximately similar for our biathletes. Svetlana Davydova and Elena Golovina were World Cup winners in 1991 and 1989, respectively. The last domestic heroine who managed to climb to the pinnacle of fame is Anfisa Reztsova. She managed to become the winner in 1992.

Russian national team composition

To the delight of all fans, the crisis in Russian biathlon came to an end. All controversial issues regarding doping have been resolved, and young athletes are rapidly rising to the leading positions. Young people are actively fighting for the highest places in any competition.

The men's team of our country is primarily represented by two stars - Evgeny Garanichev and Anton Shipulin. In addition to them, the Russian team’s arsenal includes Alexey Volkov, Alexander Povarnitsyn, Maxim Tsvetkov, Dmitry Malyshko.

Women will also look very worthy at the 2017 World Cup. The obvious leader at the moment is Ekaterina Yurlova. The girl survived a fairly long disqualification, but did not lose her experience and professionalism. I can also compare with her to younger athletes: Daria Virolainen, Elena Shumilova, Olga Podchufarova.

They have already received a lot of awards and titles and are not going to stop there. Let’s hope that the experience of past championships will allow the aspiring champions to perform well at the upcoming large-scale tournament.

Biathlon World Cup.

The World Cup is a competition and championship, which in many respects and the principle of its conduct differs from the usual tournament. Ask what exactly?

Firstly, this is a tournament, the peculiarity of which is the fact that it is not held at once.
Secondly, to become a cup winner you need to show and demonstrate best performance in nine directions, that is, stages. Moreover, each of these stages can be carried out on completely different continents. That is why the winner must truly have good and excellent physical training and remarkable composure.
Thirdly, the duration of the cup. Regarding the start of the competition, it is already known that the tournament will begin on November 28, 2016 and it will start in the Swedish city of Ostersund. The cup will last until March 19, 2017 and will end in the capital of Norway - Oslo. If you do the math, the duration of the cup will be almost 6 months.
Fourthly, the specifics of the competition stages. Each stage lasts almost exactly 1 week and includes up to six various types races and relay races, which also take place and are implemented in nine different cities, the list of which is already known and approved. This:
1. Ostersund - Norway.
2. Pokljuka - Slovenia.
3. Nove Mesto - Czech Republic.
4. Oberchow - Germany.
5. Antholz - Italy.
6. Pyogchang - South Korea.
7. Tyumen - Russia.
8. Oslo - Norway.
9. Asia.

As for Russia, the tournament in Tyumen will last from March 6 to 12. At the same time, we should not forget that athletes will be involved not only in the Cup, but also in other competitions. A completely logical and natural question arises, in what? First of all, these are the World Championships and the IBU Cup, and the results shown in individual competitions will be included and counted in the overall ranking of the World Cup.

Types of disciplines.

There are currently seven men's and women's disciplines in the World Cup, each of which has its own characteristics.

1. Men’s/women’s relay – 4 x 7.5/4 x 6.

2.Single mixed relay – 1 x 6 + 1 x 7.5 km.

3. Mixed relay – 2 x 6 + 2 x 7.5.

It is worth saying that the mixed relay distances for both men and women are the same. When participating in these competitions, you should remember one very simple but important rule - points received in all types of relay races do not replenish the athlete’s overall score. After all, only points received in individual competitions, of which there are only four types in the tournament, are taken into account and counted. These are the Individual race, sprint, pursuit and mass start.

I would like to believe that the composition of the Russian biathlon team 2016-2017 and the entire declared list of participants will show good results in the competition and take their rightful place. At the same time, the audience will be pleased not only good results, but also a wonderful and spectacular show.
