Biathlon World Cup.

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

• Firstly, this is a tournament, a feature of which is and is the fact that it is not held at the same time.
• Secondly, in order to become the winner of the cup, it is necessary to show and demonstrate the best performance in nine areas, that is, stages. Moreover, each of these stages can be carried out on completely different continents. That is why the winner must really have good and excellent physical fitness and remarkable composure.
• Third, 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 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 we calculate, then the duration of the cup will last and will be almost 6 months.
• Fourth, the specifics of the stages of the competition. Each stage lasts almost exactly 1 week and includes up to six different 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. It:

  1. Ostersund - Norway.
  2. Pokljuka - Slovenia.
  3. Nove Mesto - Czech Republic.
  4. Oberhov - 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 6 to 12 March. At the same time, one 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 which ones? First of all, this is the World Championship and the IBU Cup, and the results shown in the individual competitions will be included and will be counted in the overall World Cup ranking.

Types of disciplines.

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

1.Relay men / women - 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 distances mixed relay for both men and women are the same. When participating in these competitions, one very simple, but important rule should be remembered - the points received in all types of relay do not replenish the total piggy bank of the athlete's standings. After all, only points obtained in individual competitions are taken into account and counted, of which there are only four types in the tournament. They are Individual, Sprint, Pursuit and Mass Start.

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

More recently, the intrigues and incredible experiences of the last biathlon season ended, as the time for the 2017 World Cup in this sport came. The most powerful athletes from France, Germany, Norway, Russia and other countries will fight for the opportunity to raise the coveted trophy above themselves and get a check for a decent amount of money.

Unlike the world championship, these competitions are not held simultaneously. 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 fitness and a 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 day of competition will be held in Oslo (Norway). As a result, given sporting 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 located around the world. This number of biathlon world cup venues has remained unchanged since the 1999-2000 season.

World Cup stages 2017

At the moment, there are nine cities 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 - Pyeongchang
• Italy - Antholz
• Germany - Ruhpolding
• Germany - Oberhov
• 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 not a secret for anyone that during the season, in addition to the World Cup, athletes 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 world biathlon championship in next year will be included in the overall ranking of the World Cup. As a result, it can be described as an additional stage.

Varieties of disciplines

The following male and female disciplines have been identified in which athletes will find out who is the best.

• Women 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 it is necessary to take into account one important point. The point is that the acquired points in all types of biathlon world cup relays do not go into the overall standings of the athlete. Only points are taken into account in individual championships, of which there are four varieties in the tournament.

• Mass - start: 15/5
• Pursuit: 5/10
• Sprint: 10/5
• Womens and mens 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. As for women, we can say that from their number one cannot 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 it twice.

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

Our biathletes have a similar situation. Svetlana Davydova and Elena Golovina turned out to be World Cup winners in 1991 and 1989, respectively. The last domestic heroine who managed to climb to the top of fame is Anfisa Reztsova. She managed to become the winner in 1992.

Russian national team squad

To the delight of all fans, the crisis in Russian biathlon came to an end. All controversial issues regarding doping were resolved, and young athletes are rapidly breaking 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 Alexey 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 Yurlova Ekaterina. The girl survived a rather long disqualification, but did not lose her experience and professionalism. Also, younger athletes can compare 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 perform with dignity at the upcoming large-scale tournament.

More recently, all controversy surrounding the seasonal biathlon competition has ended, but time is moving. Before you know it, the 2016-2017 Biathlon World Cup kicked off.

And this means that new worries and experiences for our team cannot be avoided. At the Biathlon World Championships, Russia has very strong rivals, which include the national teams of Germany, Norway and France.

Many Russian fans are interested in what will be the composition of the Russian national biathlon team 2016-2017. To date, the list of athletes who will defend the honor of Russia at world-wide competitions has already been officially announced. It should be noted right away that the list consists of 42 declared participants: men - 22 people, women - 20 people.

Biathlon World Cup 2016-2017.

The Biathlon World Cup Championship has some distinctive features from the usual tournaments. Let's look at what exactly these differences are.

The main distinguishing feature of the Biathlon World Cup is that it is held in several stages, or to be more precise, in 9 stages.

Tournament winners must show their professional skills in each such stage. It is also worth noting that all stages are carried out in different countries the world. Therefore, before the competition, all participants undergo thorough preparation in order to be ready for any conditions and changes in climate.

The duration of the Biathlon World Cup Championship differs significantly from the duration of a regular tournament. Starts this championship already on November 28, 2016, and will end only on March 19, 2017. The first stage will take place in Sweden in Ostersund. The last stage of the competition was organized in the capital of Norway - Oslo. Thus, the duration of the competition is almost six months.

Each stage lasts about a week. It usually includes up to six different relay races and types of races. Each stage will take place in different cities. The list of the city and countries in which the competitions for the Biathlon World Cup will be held is already known.

All biathlon fans, of course, are interested in exactly when the competitions will take place in Russia. In Tyumen, athletes will be able to compete for the World Cup from 6 to 12 March. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that these same athletes can take part in other biathlon competitions at the same time. These include the World Cup and the IBU Cup, and the results that the athletes show in the individual tournament will be included in the overall World Cup ranking.

What types of disciplines are there?

Today, there are seven key disciplines in World Cup competitions. They apply to both men and women. Each such discipline has a number of its own characteristics.

List of disciplines for the Biathlon World Cup:

• Pursuit.
• Individual race.
• Mass start.
• Mixed relay.
• Sprint.
• Relay race.

The first four of these disciplines are individual, the rest are team, which is quite reasonable for relay races. In addition to the main Biathlon World Cup, prizes are also raffled that relate to individual offset.

When taking part in the competition for the Biathlon World Cup, it is worth remembering that the points that will be earned in any type of relay will not be added to overall athlete. Only points obtained in the individually disciplines mentioned above.

We can only hope that the athletes of the Russian biathlon team will be able to bring the best results of the 2017 World Cup competitions. better results, the viewer also wants to see a wonderful and spectacular show, accompanied by intrigue and great interest.
