Description of biathlon stages

The start of the Biathlon World Cup takes place in Ostersund, Sweden, a small town with a population of only 60 thousand people. The main advantage of the local route is its close location to the Arctic Circle (less than 100 km). In November, it is always moderately frosty here (-5 - -10 ºС), and the snow depth reaches 10-15 cm. The configuration of the biathlon track has many "loops", so you can watch almost the entire race from the stands.

The track in the Austrian town of Hochfilzen has a relatively small height difference (only 40 meters), as a result of which shooting is of key importance in the race. The local stadium can accommodate 5 thousand spectators, and during the World Cup stage it is literally packed to capacity. Often on bad days, the track is covered with thick fog, which makes shooting even more unpredictable.

The track in French Annecy is one of the fastest and most dynamic. Steep climbs are replaced by sharp descents, so shooting is far from decisive. It will not be difficult for experienced athletes to win back here a few tens of seconds lost on a penalty loop.

The track in the German Oberhof is famous for its elevation changes. In some areas, biathletes have to overcome long climbs 200-400 meters long. The new stadium at the shooting range can accommodate 12,000 spectators who support their athletes so zealously that their cries sometimes drown out the sounds of gunshots.

Race in Ruhpolding - another German stage - is always unpredictable. In addition to significant elevation changes, the local weather brings many surprises. Due to the positive temperature, the snow often turns into an impenetrable mess and sticks to the skis, and this turns the race into a real hell for athletes. The stadium can accommodate 12 thousand spectators, and its main feature is its proximity to the shooting range (less than 10 meters).

In Antholz, Italy, the track is gentle, but a few artificially created "drafts" (steep climbs) make the athletes give all their best. The local stadium seats less than 5,000 spectators, however, it boasts a huge screen that displays the results of the race.

The Finnish stage in Kontiolahti is famous for its unique track. It is located at an altitude of 90-120 meters above sea level, and the rarefied mountain air makes biathletes experience oxygen starvation during the race. The athlete's body is literally working for wear and tear, so to win here you need to make incredible efforts. The stadium in Kontiolahti has a capacity of 10,000 spectators and is equipped with an electronic scoreboard and information screens.

The comparatively modest size of the Norwegian track in Oslo is offset by the amazing fan atmosphere. Also, the local mountain slopes are known for their steep descents, as a result of which falls often occur during the race. In Oslo, no one will gloat over the opponent's failure, and even the biathlete who came to the finish line in last place will receive his portion of applause.

The final stage of the 2017-2018 Biathlon World Cup is so far. The main test for biathletes will be the famous Siberian frosts, reaching -25 ºС. The inclusion of the track in the tournament remains an urgent issue for millions of domestic fans. The fact is that, according to the recommendations of the IOC in connection with the doping scandal in Russian sports, The International Biathlon Union last year moved the stage from Tyumen to the Czech Novo Mesto. A similar castling is likely in the coming season.

Candidates for the Crystal Globe

Biathlon news in 2017 only fueled the audience's interest in the competition. In the men's standings, Martin Fourcade will become a clear contender for the title. Last season, he had no equal, and the French jet won the Crystal Globe with a margin of 453 points. The second place went to the best of the Russians, Anton Shipulin, with whom Fourcade had a conflict. Obviously, Marten was bored by the lack of serious competition, and made a number of impartial remarks about Russian athletes suspected of doping. In response, Anton advised the opponent to mind his own business, and leave doping investigations to more competent specialists. The verbal skirmish reached the point of refusing to shake hands at the awards ceremony. The conflict was hushed up, but the sediment remained.

In addition to Fourcade and Shipulin, a number of talented athletes apply for the Crystal Globe, and any of them can “shoot”. This list includes:

  • Emil Hegle Svendsen;
  • Arndt Peiffer;
  • Johannes Be;
  • Tarja Be.

In women, the struggle for the trophy will unfold serious. Several dozen athletes claim the title, but the main contenders are:

  • Laura Dahlmeier (last season's winner);
  • Gabriela Koukalova;
  • Kaisa Mäkäräinen
  • Marie Dorin Aubert.

Separately, it is worth highlighting the threefold Olympic champion Daria Domracheva, whose last season turned out to be crumpled due to the birth of a child. Dasha did not manage to get in the best shape, but in the upcoming competition she has every chance to take her usual place at the top of the table. Whether the Belarusian athlete will be able to compete with a whole galaxy of new stars, we will find out very soon.

Thus, the biathlon season 2017-2018 starts in November. It will be eventful, exciting and unpredictable. Don't miss the exciting races of the World Cup, the European Championship and the 2018 Olympics.

More recently, intrigues and incredible experiences have ended. last season in biathlon, as the time came for the 2017 World Cup in this sport. The strongest athletes from France, Germany, Norway, Russia and other countries will fight for the opportunity to raise 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, it is necessary to overcome all nine stages with maximum performance, which, as a rule, are organized on different continents. Therefore, the winner must have excellent physical training and cold-blooded nature.

2017 World Cup Schedule

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

Each stage will last about seven days and will include six different types of races, which will be held in nine cities around the world. This number of venues for the Biathlon World Cup has not changed since the 1999-2000 season.

Stages of the World Cup 2017

At the moment, nine cities have been established that will host competitions 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 - Oberchov
  • Czech Republic - Nove Mesto
  • Slovenia. – Pokljuka
  • Norway - Östersund

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 athletes during the season, in addition to the World Cup, will also take part in other championships. First of all, we are talking about the IBU Cup and the World Championship. Wherein individual achievements athletes at the Biathlon World Championships in next year, will be included in the overall World Cup rankings. As a result, it can be characterized as an additional stage.

Varieties of disciplines

The following male and female disciplines have been identified in which athletes will find out which of them is better.

For both women and men, the mixed relay distance has the same distance. But one important point must be taken into account. The thing is that the points acquired in all types of relay races of the Biathlon World Cup do not go into the overall standings of the athlete. Only points in individual championships are taken into account, of which there are four varieties in the tournament.

  • 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 raised the coveted trophy over his head 4 times from 2012 to 2016. As for women, it can be said that one cannot single out a clear favorite from among them. Over the past five years, Daria Domracheva, Tura Berger, Kaisa Mäkyaryanen, and Madgalena Neuer have been on the first line. The last two athletes did it twice.

It's a shame that our biathletes are not so often pleased with victories in this championship. In the Biathlon World Cup the most titled Russian athlete is Chepikov Sergey. He managed to get a gold award back in the USSR, at the 1990-1991 tournament. A few years later, already with the flag of Russia, Vladimir Drachev turned out to be the best athlete in this tournament (1996).

Approximately the same situation with 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 top of fame is Reztsova Anfisa. She managed to become the winner in 1992.

The composition of the Russian team

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

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

Women will also look very worthy in the 2017 World Cup. The obvious leader at the moment is Ekaterina Yurlova. The girl survived a rather long disqualification, but did not lose her experience and professionalism. Also, younger athletes can compete with her: 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 the past championships will allow the novice champions to adequately perform at the upcoming large-scale tournament.

At the same time, the leader gets 60 points, the second - 54, the third - 48, and so on. In the final of the entire tournament, the athlete who has scored the most points receives a cash reward and the most famous biathlon trophy - the Crystal Globe.

Schedule of the future championship

To understand where each of the stages of the competition in the marked sport will take place, you should show the entire chronology of each of them.

A two-month break in competition is required for additional competitions: the European Championship, scheduled from January 22 to 28, 2018, and the Pyeongchang Olympics, from February 9 to 25, 2018. At the mentioned tournaments, the main struggle of biathletes will be conducted in 6 stages: sprint, mass start, individual race, mixed and same type relay race, as well as pursuit.

Detailed information about each stage of the competition

The world championship in the noted sport begins in a small Swedish town Ostersund, where no more than 60 thousand people currently live. A feature of this place is its proximity 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 directly from the podium.

Next, the biathletes will move to the Austrian town Hochfilzen, where there is a very small difference in height - in the region of 40 meters. It is clear that in this case, the main feature of the race will be exclusively shooting. The local stadium can accommodate only 5 thousand people, and at the time of the world championship there is nowhere for an apple to fall. When the sun hides behind impenetrable clouds, the track is enveloped in thick fog, which makes shooting more unpredictable and interesting.

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

german town track Oberhof famous throughout the world for its large elevation difference. In some cases, the rises can reach 400 meters. Recently appeared here new stadium, accommodating at least 12 thousand spectators. Usually, all fans are very conscientious about their immediate duties, and therefore support their favorite favorites with considerable zeal.

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

Further, the 2018 biathlon championship will be relocated to Italy, to the town Antholz. The local track is very gentle, which did not prevent the organizers from making it more interesting with the help of artificial climbs. To overcome the entire distance, the athletes will have to work hard. The stadium can accommodate 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 track 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 rarefied, and therefore, during the competition, athletes have to deal with oxygen starvation. What can we say - for the victory you will need to exhaust all the forces of the body and make really titanic efforts. The local stadium is designed for 10,000 spectators, and is also equipped with information screens and an overall scoreboard.

The next stage of biathlon is held at the Norwegian stadium in Oslo. The local track consists of steep descents, due to which falls are not uncommon during the competition. On the winter Games a huge number of people come to see, and therefore even the athlete who comes to the finish line last is greeted with a standing ovation.

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