When will the new biathlon season start? th stage

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.

  • 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 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.
