In order for an athlete to compete at international competitions, he first needs to get into the main team and for this there is a selection system within the country. The final decision on admission to the national biathlon team is made by coaching staff Russian national team from the results of all races, both within the country and in international competitions, according to the results of each tournament, a rating is compiled.
Biathlon as a means of maintaining human health.
We live in an age when most people sit in the workplace for six or even eight hours. This lifestyle can bring money, but it is very detrimental to human health, because over time you will have problems with your back and joints throughout your body, not to mention the fact that your muscles swell constantly and degrade. This problem can only be solved exercise, but the best of course would be running or some active view sports. Why running, then everything is simple, the whole point is its maximum usefulness for human health, the main thing is not to try to run a Marathon. It takes about fifteen or twenty minutes maximum to get benefits for your body. Firstly, you will give work to all the muscles of the body, some stress under which they will begin to work, and all swelling will pass, while breathing and blood circulation will improve, which is very useful for the heart. vascular system, and this is just a one-time job. If you do this regularly you will be able to improve the strength, endurance and many other characteristics of your body.
But not only running brings health benefits, many sports provide more benefits, and certainly interest. Of course, all of them have inherent running, because this is the basis of most games, it’s not for nothing that everyone wants to be the fastest themselves. If you don’t know which kind of sport you should choose, I would like to advise biathlon, both summer and winter. They are similar, only in summer, you just need to run, because you can’t ride skis here. Since, you already know about the benefits of running, we will repeat, we will not. In addition to all of the above, biathlon classes are more beneficial for respiratory system a person, due to a certain rhythm of skiing, this applies to the winter look. Since shooting is inherent here, then of course you must learn to be calm and accurate. Biathlon is still very useful for nervous system, because in itself it is a calm sport, where everything depends on your skills. So I want everyone to try it.
The Russian biathlon team presented at Olympic Games in Pyeongchang in a truncated composition, completed her performance at the 2018 Games without high results and with some revealed conflicts.
Akimova was without contact with the coaches
The IOC allowed only four Russian biathletes to the Olympics - Anton Babikov, Matvey Eliseev, Uliana Kaisheva and Tatyana Akimova, who eventually made their debut at the Games. Leaders did not compete in Pyeongchang Russian team Ekaterina Yurlova-Perkht and Anton Shipulin. Although his sister Anastasia Kuzmina, representing Slovakia at the Games, performed very well for the latter. She has already won a gold and two silvers. And the biathlete, at any opportunity, remembered Shipulin, dedicating her second silver medal to him.
“I talked a lot about my brother before the race, and yes, it's true, this is my second medal - my brother's medal,” said the Slovak after the silver in the pursuit. But even after the gold in the mass start, Kuzmina returned to the situation with the non-admission of Shipulin: “Inwardly, I was very worried about Anton, for all this situation around Russian athletes. I felt empty and I was very afraid that this would affect my result.”
IN personal races highest achievement Russians was Akimova's 15th place in the individual race. Also, the Russian woman became 20th in the sprint, took 31st place in the pursuit and the last 30th place in the mass start. Moreover, Akimova was the only one of the four Russians who took part in the race from the general start. Tatiana's best result this season was the seventh place in the pursuit at the World Cup in Hochfilzen, Austria.
It was Akimova who, after the individual race, made a loud statement that Russian coaches no contact with her at all. “In terms of psychological, in principle, we had no contact with the coach, and for me there is no such trust. For me it is very difficult. We are preparing, but there are no explanations about the nuances of the training process. I think that such a situation has developed that most athletes want to train with those with whom ... In general, it’s hard when there is no contact, dialogue with the coach, ”Akimova returned to this topic after the mass start.
Only two Russian specialists were admitted to the Olympics in Pyeongchang - Ricco Gross and Nikolai Zagursky. The head coach of the Russian women's team, Sergei Konovalov, noted that they had a difficult relationship with Akimova and the contact was not what they would like to have. “The situation with Akimova looks strange to me. It is difficult to talk about this from a human point of view,” said the head of the delegation of Olympic athletes from Russia (OAR) at the Olympics, Stanislav Pozdnyakov.
The second Russian Kaisheva performed well compared to her performance this season, becoming 33rd in the sprint, 52nd in the pursuit and 24th in the individual. This season, the Russian woman took part in only two starts at the World Cup: in the sprint in Antholz, Italy (75th) and in the individual race in Ruhpolding, Germany (89th). Otherwise, Kaisheva competed in the IBU Cup.
“Catches that they could not prepare properly”
In men best result in Pyeongchang Babikov showed, finishing 16th in the individual. The biathlete also ranked 57th in the sprint and 40th in the pursuit. Anton's best result of the season was the fifth place in the individual race at the World Cup stage in Östersund, Sweden.
Eliseev at the Games took 83rd place in the sprint and 28th place in the individual race. The highest result of the season for a Russian is in the sprint at the World Cup in Hochfilzen (17th place). “I'm not in the shape to show the maximum results, unfortunately. I'm more attracted to what this moment we didn't manage to prepare well enough to fight. This is what catches me, and not the results of the Swedes, for example. I am happy for them, because they were able to progress a lot, ”said Eliseev.
Babikov originally contrasted the situation with Russian biathletes and the performance of domestic skiers, who at the Olympics, by decision of the IOC, also perform not in a star line-up. “It’s not even about (Elena) Vyalba,” he said. - You know, there is such a game "Jenga", a tower of sticks. Their tower stands so evenly that even if sticks are knocked out somewhere below or above, they still stand very firmly and continue to beat, showing an unrealistic result.
“We have knocked out several sticks, and the tower is staggering and is about to collapse. They look like a very healthy and strong team, despite the fact that they were also deprived of leaders. For all of us, they are an example of how you can fight steadfastly, despite any adversity, ”he continued.
“I watched a video of how Vyalbe was filmed during the race. I don't know how it would affect me. I think that this is not the case with them, so that just once - and this appeared at the Olympics. This is forged throughout the season. This is a very delicate process that has been developed over the years. And not so that everything became bad, and everyone became friendly. We have a lot to learn from them, I think,” Babikov said.
“It’s not so important to talk about the results, this is not our real team”
Each of the athletes has repeatedly spoken out about the lack of team leaders in Korea. “We are alone in terms of the fact that there are few athletes. It's so unusual that it's hard to find words. Some kind of devastation, they just took and cut us off, ”said Eliseev.
Gross spoke about the results of the Russians' performance after four races: “I think it's not so important to talk about the results, because this is not our real team. Anton and Matvey are here, but we lack other excellent biathletes. It is not so easy for eligible athletes to compete here, for them this is the first Olympics. There is a lot of pressure on them."
In the final race for themselves, the Russians on Tuesday became the ninth in mixed relay. The biathlon program at the Olympic Games will be completed by two relay races, for participation in which the Russian team is physically lacking people.
After the race, Gross noted that in such a composition Russian biathletes practically did not have the opportunity to perform better at the Olympics.
“Everyone knows that we lost a lot of guys. Showing a better result for us at the moment is not too possible. Everyone tried to declare their strongest athletes in this race, but we simply don’t have these strongest ones. This is a difficult situation, not only for those who did not go to the Games, but also for those who performed here,” Gross told a RIA Novosti correspondent.
“If you were athletes, you would perfectly understand what it means to try to fight for the result when there is no strong team. It was very hard for our young athletes, it turned out to be a very heavy burden for them,” added the coach.

MEN: GROSS AND KRYUCHKOV REMAIN WITH THEIR
In the men's team, at least, there were no questions to the composition of the coaching staff from the very beginning. German specialist Ricco Gross predictably finalize with us, at least until the end of the contract. To change it in the middle of the way would be, firstly, strange from the point of view of the team's preparation, and secondly, it would be very expensive under the terms of the agreement.
Will help Gross Andrey Padin- a specialist who previously prepared a very solid reserve team led by Anton Babikov. Padin was offered to move to the main team a year ago, but then the specialist chose not to leave his pupils and work in parallel with Gross. Now the leadership of the SBR has taken a course towards uniting the groups, and Padin, in fact, has no other options left. Moreover, out of six athletes in the Gross group, three have direct relationship to Padin - Babikov, Matvey Eliseev And Yuri Shopin.
Anton Shipulin together with Alexey Volkov continue to train under the guidance of their coach Andrey Kryuchkov. And this seems to be the only exception in terms of individual training that will be made in the national team. All the rest will train in a single group according to the plans of senior coaches.
Of notable people in Russian biathlon, was not included in the team Olympic champion Dmitry Malyshko. However, RBU President Alexander Kravtsov promised to send Malyshko for self-training during the season, and he kept his word. Didn't make the top eight Alexey Slepov, although at the recent Russian championship he won and seemed to prove his right to be on the team.
WOMEN: WITHOUT A COACH, BLIND AND SHUMILOVA
The head coach of the women's team has not yet been appointed. According to a statement from the RRF, for the approval of the mentor, "it is necessary to hold another working meeting, after which a decision will be announced." Obviously, the main candidate for this position is Vitaly Noritsyn. It was with him that most of the athletes who got into the main team were trained, and in fact Noritsyn acted as a head coach at the World Cup stages.
Valery Medvedtsev, who worked in parallel with Noritsyn with another group of athletes, according to "SE", is not eager to continue this activity. At the same time, members of the board of the RRF are obviously confused by the youth and inexperience of Noritsyn, as well as not the most confident results of the team under his leadership. Apparently, the option of strengthening the coaching staff would be preferable here, but whether Medvedtsev and Noritsyn will get along, like Gross and Padin in men, is a big question.
In terms of the composition of the women's team, the most surprising thing is the absence of a young Ulyana Kaisheva. Last year, she competed at the World Cup stages and only at the last moment did not get to the World Championship. Of course, Ulyana's results in the world elite do not yet cause admiration, but for example, her peer Victoria Slivko showed itself in the course of the season is not much brighter.
In accordance with the course taken for rejuvenation, the Olympic champion did not get into the team either. Svetlana Sleptsova together with the winner of the Games-2014 Ekaterina Shumilova. However, experienced athletes will probably prepare for the season on their own, under the guidance of personal trainers, and will try to get into the Games in Pyeongchang through the "Izhevsk rifle". And there, it is possible that some of them will be able to jump at the last moment on a plane flying to South Korea.
You are in the section of the site " Russian team”, where the composition of the women's and men's national team of Russia for the stages of the Biathlon World Cup, the World Championship, the IBU Cup, the European Championship, the Olympics, the Universiade, the Junior World Championships (JWCH) and all the most important events of the current biathlon season 2018- 2019.
This season has a lot of new features. At the pre-season training, the men's team was divided into 2 groups and prepared for the KM season in the following line-up:
- A group headed by head coach Anatoly Khovantsev (Artem Istomin works with him in pairs) in which 7 biathletes were trained: Alexander Loginov ( Tyumen region), Anton Babikov (Republic of Bashkortostan), Maxim Tsvetkov (Moscow-Vologda region), Evgeny Garanichev (Tyumen region), Dmitry Malyshko (St. Petersburg), Pyotr Pashchenko (KhMAO-Yugra) and Semyon Suchilov (KhMAO-Yugra)
- The group of Sergei Belozerov and Sergei Idinov (reserve team), dominated by promising young people: Nikita Porshnev (KhMAO-Yugra), Eduard Latypov (Republic of Bashkortostan), Ivan Tomilov (KhMAO-Yugra), Matvey Eliseev (Moscow), Alexander Povarnitsyn (Udmurt Republic) ), Evgeny Idinov (Tyumen region), Igor Malinovsky (Omsk region) and Vasily Tomshin (St. Petersburg).
- Also centralized training in these groups took place at the expense of the regions Alexey Volkov (KhMAO-Yugra), Alexey Slepov (St. Petersburg) and Kirill Streltsov (Moscow).
- Olympic champion Anton Shipulin did not immediately decide to continue his sports career, so I partially rested, and later prepared for the season on my own.
- The main team was coached by Vitaly Noritsyn, he was assisted by Nikolai Zagursky. Team members: Ekaterina Yurlova-Perkht (St. Petersburg), Uliana Kaisheva (Udmurt Republic), Victoria Slivko (Tyumen region), Daria Virolainen (KhMAO-Yugra), Kristina Reztsova (KhMAO-Yugra), Anastasia Egorova (Murmansk region), Svetlana Mironova (Sverdlovsk region).
- Coaches Andrei Padin and Sergei Konovalov worked with the reserve. Their team included: Larisa Kuklina (Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug), Evgenia Pavlova (Novosibirsk Region), Tamara Voronina (Sverdlovsk Region), Anastasia Morozova (KhMAO-Yugra), Valeria Vasnetsova ( Perm region), Ekaterina Zubova (Arkhangelsk Region), Natalya Ushkina (Republic of Mordovia), Alexandra Alekseshnikova (Novosibirsk Region), Margarita Vasilyeva (Krasnoyarsk Territory).
By clicking on the link "Reserve team (B)" you will find out which of the biathletes qualified for the women's and men's reserve teams. The Russian reserve team most often consists of 7 men and 7 women. All biathletes of the reserve team have a chance to get into the main Russian team and perform at the very high level and even at the next Olympic Games.
