At the mentioned tournaments, the main competition of biathletes will be carried out in 6 stages: sprint, mass start, individual race, mixed and single-type relay, as well as pursuit.

Detailed information about each stage of the competition

The world championship in the noted sport begins in a small Swedish city Ostersund, where on this moment no more than 60 thousand people live. A special feature of this place is its close location to the Arctic Circle - only 100 km. Since the beginning of November it has been quite cool here (-5...-10 degrees), and the height of the snow cover reaches 15 centimeters. The biathlon track itself consists of different levels of difficulty, which allows you to clearly follow all stages of the race right from the stands.

Next, the biathletes will move to an Austrian town Hochfilzen, where there is a very small difference in height - around 40 meters. It is clear that in this case, main feature The race will be purely shooting. The local stadium can accommodate only 5 thousand people, and at the time of the world championship there is no place for an apple to fall. When the sun disappears behind impenetrable clouds, the track is shrouded in thick fog, making shooting more unpredictable and interesting.

Biathlon in a French settlement Annecy considered one of the most dynamic in the world. The current route amazes with its steep climbs and unexpected descents. As a result, the final of the local competition depends solely on the speed of the participants themselves.

German town route Oberhof It is famous throughout the world for its large altitude difference. In some cases, climbs can reach 400 meters. Recently appeared here new stadium, accommodating at least 12 thousand spectators. Usually, all fans are very conscientious about their immediate responsibilities, and therefore support their favorite favorites with considerable zeal.

The next stage is another German race in Ruhpolding. It is famous for its unpredictability and entertainment. In addition to considerable differences in altitude, the local weather is no less capricious. Very often the air temperature becomes above zero, and then the perfect snow cover turns into a real mess that sticks to the skis. It is impossible to imagine more difficult conditions for athletes, but this does not in any way cancel the main highlight of the local biathlon - the close location of the spectator stands to the shooting range (no more than 10 meters).

Next, the 2018 biathlon championship will be relocated to Italy, to the town Antholz. The local track is very flat, which did not stop the organizers from making it more interesting with the help of artificial climbs. To cover the entire distance, athletes will have to work hard. The stadium seats only 5 thousand people, but there is a huge screen from which the results of the competition can be clearly seen.

The next stage of the championship is planned in Finnish Kontiolahti. The local route is considered unique, as it is located at an altitude of 120 meters above sea level. It is clear that the air here is a little thin, and therefore during the competition athletes have to deal with oxygen deprivation. What can we say - to win you will need to exhaust all the strength of the body and make truly titanic efforts. The local stadium is designed for 10 thousand spectators, and is also equipped with information screens and a large scoreboard.

The next stage of the biathlon is held at the Norwegian stadium in Oslo. The local track consists of steep slopes, due to which falls are common during the competition. On winter Games A huge number of people come to watch, and therefore even the athlete who comes last to the finish line is greeted with applause.

The final stage of the championship of the 2017-2018 season will be held in the Russian town Tyumen. A special feature of this place will be the fairly strong Siberian frosts - at least -25 degrees. It is worth recalling that in connection with the outbreak doping scandal, last year’s stage of the championship in Russia was moved by the IOC to the Czech New Mesto. It is quite possible that the situation will repeat itself this year, but so far there have been no official statements on this matter.

The Biathlon World Cup 2016-2017 season, consisting of 9 stages, which began in Östersund (Sweden), is currently watched by about 218 million viewers - this is evidenced by broadcast statistics. Thus, the 2016-2017 Biathlon KM has become the most popular winter sporting event since the end of the last olympic games. The biathlon KM schedule 2016-2017 includes competitions such as sprint, pursuit, individual race, mass start, relay, mixed relay, single relay.

Quite recently, the intrigues and incredible experiences of the last biathlon season ended, as the time came for the 2017 World Cup in this sport. The strongest athletes from France, Germany, Norway, Russia and other countries will compete for the opportunity to lift the coveted trophy and get a check for a decent amount of money.

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 training and cold-blooded 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 approximately seven days and will include six different types of racing, which will take place in nine cities located around the world. This number of Biathlon World Cup venues has remained unchanged since the 1999–2000 season.

World Cup 2017

At the 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 Russian city from 6.03.2017 to 12.03.2017.

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 championship in 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 turned out to be the 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. Youth are actively fighting for the most high places on any .

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.

Annual competition of the best biathletes on the planet - Biathlon World Cup 2017/2018- began in Ostersund, Sweden on November 26 and ended with a stage in Tyumen on March 25, 2018.

A total of 9 stages were planned in the competition calendar. Most of the races were shown live on the federal television channel Match TV.

All World Cup stages:

And also 2 commercial races, and the European Championship, the results of which do not count towards the World Cup.

The World Cup race schedule is known long before the start of the season. This was done so that coaches could prepare their athletes on time. Although, as a rule, all athletes get into the right shape at different times.

There are significant changes to the calendar for the 2018/2019 season. Well, firstly, the World Championship went to Östersund, and the eternal “opener of the season” will now host biathlon in March. And the season will open with a stage in Pokljuka. Secondly, instead of two European stages (Russia, France, Finland are not on the calendar), biathlon again goes overseas to conquer the vastness of North America.

In all disciplines, teams are represented by both men and women.
Each stage consists of 6 races (in rare cases, 7 if there is a mixed relay).
The most common type of race is the sprint - a short race of 3 laps, based on the results of which biathletes start in the next one - the Pursuit Race.
Otherwise it is called Pursuit. 60 people enter this race best athletes based on the results of the sprint, and they start in the same way as they finished the sprint, including lags. The race consists of 5 laps.
The individual race is perhaps the most boring and most unpredictable of all. In this discipline, if a biathlete misses the target, he is not sent to the penalty loop. A one-minute penalty is simply added to his finishing time. And four firing lines make this race unpredictable. In this race, even an average athlete (not from the top 30) can get on the podium if he shoots clean.
The biathlon schedule 2018 2019 also includes relay races. Team race, from a common start. each participant completes 3 laps (6km or 7.5km) and passes the baton to the next one. As practice shows, even teams have the best chance of winning, even if they have a clear leader or stars.
For example, the Ukrainian women's team finished on the podium in all relay races last season, including winning the World Cup and winning the 2014 Olympics. Although there is no athlete in its composition who would constantly fight for victory in personal races.
But the most spectacular event on the Biathlon World Cup schedule is the general start race.
Thirty best athletes (25 overall + 5 best at this stage) cover a distance of 12.5 or 15 km with four shooting ranges.
