The Biathlon World Cup consists of 9 stages, and it is during these nine stages that the standings, according to the results of which after last stage the winner will be determined. Basically, about 3-5 biathletes compete for victory at the same time, and in order to win the title they need to consistently finish in the top ten at each race, then they will receive points that will be included in the overall standings for 2018/2019.
The overall standings of the 2018/2019 Biathlon World Cup changes after each stage. Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are highlighted in a special color. We hope that this season our athletes will take worthy places.
Last year, the best among us was Anton Shipulin, who took 2nd place in the total, and among women - Tatyana Akimova, who finished the season 16th.
But this year there is a World Championship, the results of which also count towards the overall standings.
Biathlon World Cup 2018/2019 - schedule and stages
The first stage of the World Cup will last until December 9, as mentioned above. Afterwards, the athletes will have time to rest and “rearrange their forces,” but the second stage of the Cup will start on December 13, in Hochfilzen, Austria. In total, the season will include nine Cup stages and the World Championship, which will be held in Östersund, Sweden.
It is impossible not to say that the Cup stages will not be hosted in Russia this season, although Tyumen undoubtedly hosted guests last season top level. Even Martin Fourcade was surprised by the country’s hospitality, although he was the first to want to go on strike and refuse to travel to Russia due to the doping scandal.
But the Cup stages will be held this year in Canada and the USA - the biathletes have not been there for a long time. By the way, the holding of the stages is still under a big, bold question mark, because some teams refuse to go overseas to compete. They insist that the stages be moved to the European continent, otherwise they threaten to simply boycott the competition.

World Cup stage in Pokljuka - results
It is too early to sum up even the initial results of the first stage, because out of eight planned races, only two took place. In the mixed singles, our guys, Ulyana Kaisheva and Evgeniy Garanichev, managed to come seventh. IN mixed relay Irina Starykh, Alexander Loginov, Dmitry Malyshko and Katerina Yurlova-Perkht took part from Russia. The team managed to take fourth place.
Yes, the cup started without medals for our team, but no one expected that the guys would immediately become leaders from the first start? In general, the minimum task for them from the coaches is the following - to get into the top three best teams. Will they be able to? It's hard to guess yet.
There are many factors to consider when making forecasts. The first is that team leader Anton Shipulin is not at the starts yet. He is preparing for the Izhevsk Rifle and can only join the team in the middle of the Cup. At the same time, it’s not only Shipulin who is “fed up” - excellent results Malyshko and Loginov can show, and Garanichev, it seems, intends to restore his reputation after the disastrous 2017/2018 season.
As for the female half of the national team, we will miss Tatyana Akimova, who in the previous two seasons literally “carried out” all the representatives of the fair sex from our country. This year, all hopes are for the new girls, as well as for Yurlova and Kaisheva.
In general, the first races of the stage ranked the teams as follows:
Russian team at the Biathlon World Cup 2018/2019
This year's team included many new names. The thing is that the selection was carried out as openly as possible - both old-timers of the team and representatives of the regions and reserve reserves could take part in the training camp in Kontiolahti. As a result, Maxim Tsvetkov and Anton Babikov were left behind, who were unable to show themselves with best side- Experts predicted a return to the National Championship for them, but the coaching staff has not yet begun to “demote” last season’s Cup medalists. echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
As a result, the team was formed almost like a hodgepodge of already familiar and completely new names - fans have high hopes for the guys.
- Women - Irina Starykh, Evgenia Pavlova, Margarita Vasilyeva, Ekaterina Yurlova-Perkht, Kristina Ilchenko, Valeria Vasnetsova and Ulyana Kaisheva.
- Men - Dmitry Malyshko, Alexander Loginov, Evgeny Garanichev, Alexey Slepov, Matvey Eliseev and Eduard Latypov.
As for experts, they assess desire differently coaching staff renew the team and refresh it a little with youth. Many are sure that the World Cup is not the best stage when it would be worth experimenting with the composition of the team. But others assure that young people should be thrown into the breach right away, because where else can they gain experience?
