Evgeny Garanichev has grown from a newcomer to the Russian team into one of its leaders in a few years. At the Olympic Games in Sochi, he achieved the greatest personal success among our athletes - he became a bronze medalist in the individual race.
Evgeny Garanichev was born in the Perm region in the Nytvensky district in the village of Novoilinsky on February 13, 1988. From childhood, Eugene became interested in skiing, at the age of eight, his parents sent his son to the section. And in skiing Garanichev showed excellent results at junior level. At the World Championships in Mals, Italy, Evgeny won the 4x5 relay as part of the Russian team. Later, at another World Junior Championships, also in the relay race, Garanichev won silver.
However, in 2008, Evgeny Garanichev moved from cross-country skiing to biathlon. This happened largely due to the fact that in the Perm region skiing developed poorly: the promising athlete had no conditions for growth at all. In biathlon, the hardworking athlete immediately went well.
Excellent ski training Evgenia allowed him to quickly declare himself in a new form. He learned not only to run, but also to shoot accurately. In his first start "Izhevsk rifle" Garanichev took 4th place in the individual race for 20 kilometers, after which he got to the European Cup.
The results of the athlete were on the rise and in 2011 Garanichev made his debut in Anterselva at the World Cup stage, taking 13th place in the sprint race. In the same 2011, Evgeny Garanichev won two "bronze" and "silver" at the Universiade. The following season, among the awards of the Russian athlete, the first "gold" in biathlon appeared. In Holmenkollen, in the sprint, Garanichev climbed to the highest step of the podium, ahead of Arnd Peiffer and Emil Hegle Svendsen.
In the 2012/13 season, Evgeny proved himself as a team fighter, winning his first victory in the relay. The Russian national team, for which Aleksey Volkov, Anton Shipulin and Dmitry Malyshko ran besides Garanichev, won the World Cup in Oberhof. At the same stage, Evgeny climbed the podium twice more - he became the second in the sprint and the pursuit.
The Olympic season started for Eugene not too well. The first victory came in December in the relay, where Garanichev's partners were Ivan Cherezov, Alexander Loginov and Anton Shipulin. At the Olympics in Sochi, the sprint and pursuit were unsuccessful for the athlete - 27th and 15th place. But in the individual race, he became the third, having won the only personal medal of the Russian men's team. In the mixed relay, Garanichev did not perform very well, and he did not get into the relay four of the Russian team.
Evgeniy Garanichev has a profession of trainer-teacher of physical culture, he graduated from Tyumen State University. Evgeny's hobbies include volleyball and football.
It is curious that Garanichev only tried alcohol once. Once an athlete admitted that he did not know the taste of vodka and beer. "In foreign companies, they often ask:" Are you coded? Too drunk?" no and no. I just don't understand the taste or benefit. I don't want to drink and I won't. Never," says the hope of the Russian biathlon.

Due to the busy work schedule, the personal life of venerable athletes passes in a hurry and in a hurry. The famous biathlete had known his wife Lyudmila Garanicheva (Tyutikova) for six years before he proposed to her.
By his own admission, even this long period was not enough to bore each other: rare meetings have an important plus. “Every time you seem to get to know a person anew, you discover new, interesting features in him.”
Love in between starts
Lyudmila Garanicheva was born in 1986 in the town of Ocher, Perm region. Her life was not much different from the life of most provincial girls: after school, she entered the Perm State Institute of Art and Culture, which she successfully graduated from. While still a student, she went with a friend to a billiard club, where she met her future husband.
At that time, Garanichev was a promising but not yet outstanding shooting skier. His main victories were yet to come.
According to the athlete, he immediately liked the pretty blonde, but they started dating after some time. Young people corresponded for a long time before they began an affair.
Unlike some other girlfriends and wives of athletes, Lyudmila did not accompany Evgeny to competitions and training camps. Being a responsible and rational girl by nature, she devoted a lot of time to her studies, and the couple did not have the financial means to pay for expensive tickets and accommodation at that time.
The settings in the Russian team are such that after three stages of the World Cup, athletes do not go home, unlike most foreign biathletes. Some experts believe that this state of affairs gives odds to foreign biathletes, some, on the contrary, are sure that the absence of distractions keeps athletes at their peak.
Be that as it may, many months the training and competitive process becomes a real test for girlfriends and wives of athletes. Lyudmila passed this test. “It’s just that she loves me very much, so she didn’t leave me,” Evgeny comments on the situation.
wedding on the run
In 2013, the Garanichevs got married. Evgeny doubted for a long time whether it was worth organizing this event in the pre-Olympic year, athletes are superstitious people. But something took over, and the marriage took place.
The celebration took place in Tyumen, in the region that Garanichev represents at the request of the governor. That he was given an apartment, and all the conditions for a comfortable stay between competitions and training camps.
Apparently, Garanichev did not lose. No wonder he dedicated his Olympic medal to his wife and all relatives. It was they who supported Evgeny most of all at the most difficult stage of preparation for the most responsible start.
The wedding was modest, Garanichev simply did not have time to prepare for a magnificent celebration. A famous photo from the registry office, where Evgeny and Lyudmila are captured together with teammates Shipulin and Malyshko.
Few people know that the guys dropped in for registration between training sessions. That year, our athletes did not train only at night.
Interesting Notes:
Ordinary family life
A pair of Eugene-Lyudmila is a classic ice and fire. Garanichev is impulsive, hot, emotional. Lyudmila is calm, reasonable, rational.
When glory fell on Garanichev Olympic medalist, he was faced with the emergence of fake accounts on social networks. The angry man was going to make every effort to establish and punish the fraudster, but his wife convinced him not to waste his strength and nerves on this.
The only thing that becomes higher than Lyudmila's mental strength is her husband's competition. She is so worried that she refuses to watch the competition on TV.
The life of the Garanichev family is devoid of stardom and pathos. They have an ordinary apartment, a very inexpensive car. Lyudmila has no servants, by the way, Garanichev himself does not shy away from household chores, he can cook and wash dishes.
The most important treasure of the couple is their son Eugene. Lyudmila did new year gift husband January 1, 2016. On that rare day when even biathletes do not have training.

In the profession, on the ski track, Zhenya is impudent, uncompromising, "prickly", does not recognize authorities. Coaches note: "he respects opponents, but is not afraid." Still stubborn and determined.
Eugene has been in sports since the first grade and says to himself that he always considered studying and training more important than games and pranks. Garanichev's first cross-country skiing coach, Snegirev, agrees with him: “Zhenya knew that he could achieve something in racing, so he did not spray himself. There were no difficulties with him at all, the guy is disciplined, responsible.
Despite the fact that he became the world champion in the relay at the YUCHM in cross-country skiing, he was not taken to centralized training. In the same Perm region there were no conditions for the development of cross-country skiing, there were not enough sponsors. And in 2008, it was decided to switch to biathlon, which was greatly facilitated by Vladimir Aleksandrovich Alikin, who comes from the same village. So Eugene switched to biathlon and began to compete for Tyumen.

Having switched to biathlon in 2008, already in the next season 2009-2010. he won two sprint races at the Russian Cup stages - in Izhevsk and Novosibirsk. And in the individual race on the Izhevsk rifle, he became the fourth. In the same season, Zhenya also competed at the stages of the IBU Cup, but not very successfully, the best place was 6th in the individual race in Nove Mesto.
The fact that the most successful race was the individual race, which is considered the “shooters” race, is a very curious detail, because. Zhenya's hit percentage that season was low, somewhere in the region of 65%, which is quite understandable for a novice biathlete.
In the 2010-2011 season. Garanichev underwent pre-season training as part of the reserve team. In the autumn, just before the start of the season, he fell ill with a sore throat and was treated for a long time, so in December he ran only one sprint race at the IBU Cup stages - in the Italian Martel at the second stage, finishing 47th.
But January was very successful for him, he won two races at the fourth and fifth stages, having won the right to participate in the KM. After Zhenya said: “When I IBU Cup won the pursuit, Sergei Kushchenko called and asked if I was ready to run at the World Cup. What could I say? Of course: ready!
In the very first race in Anholz, sprint, he became 13th and qualified for the mass start. In it, he performed less successfully, took 24th place, but the coaches entrusted him to run in the relay, where Russian team took fourth place. After that, they started talking about Zhenya seriously.
Garanichev then, according to the coaches, qualified for the World Championships in Khanty-Mansiysk as a substitute, but did not run in the races. But he took part in the World Winter Universiade in Turkish Erzurum, where he won a silver and two bronze medals. In the pursuit race happened to him unpleasant situation: he finished first and could have been the winner, but at the start he broke the rules by leaving a second ahead of his time.
For this he was fined 30 seconds and, alas, he got only a bronze medal. It’s very disappointing, but such situations teach athletes to be more attentive to small details, Zhenya himself spoke about this. At the end of the season, Evgeny became 8th in the SBR rating and got into pre-season training in the main team.
The beginning of the season was not impressive - 10, 63, 30, 32 places. And castling followed by the third stage: Zhenya went to the IBU Cup, he was replaced by Dmitry Malyshko and Timofey Lapshin. But at the IBU Cup, Garanichev performed brilliantly, he won two of the two races - the sprint and the pursuit, and returned to the WC again in January.
This was followed by a 2nd place in the men's relay at Oberhof, a 2nd place in the sprint at Anholz and finally an impressive stage at Holmenkollen, where Zhenya won the sprint and finished third in the pursuit and mass start. According to the results of the whole season, he became the second in the RRF ranking, only behind Anton Shipulin.
Season 2012-2013 was less successful than the previous one: two second places in the sprint and Oberhof pursuit. Zhenya was 14th in the overall standings of the World Cup. The World Championship in Nove Mesto also did not bring medals (19-28-25 places), and the men's relay race turned out to be especially ill-fated: after prone shooting, he left second behind Arnd Peiffer, half a second behind. But on the stand, the shooting frankly did not work out, and Evgeny went for two penalty loops. As he himself said after the race: "After the first two shots, my legs shook incredibly." As a result - the fourth place of the Russian team.
Of course, this can happen to any biathlete, although Zhenya noted that it is doubly insulting due to the fact that this happens to him at the second World Cup in a row. But at the Russian Championships in Uvat, he won two gold medals in the sprint and pursuit.
Considering the 2013-2014 season. in general, it was less successful than the previous two. In the overall standings, Garanichev took 26th place. Compared to 12 and 14 places, this is a step backwards. At the beginning of December there were problems with skis and during the season he had to switch to a new brand - FISCHER. Perhaps the inexpressive results were partly due to this, because the features of the new skis take some time to get used to. Zhenya barely qualified for the January KM stages, but already in Ruhpolding he had his first podium race - a pursuit, in which he took 3rd place. But at the Olympic Games in Sochi, Garanichev became the only Russian biathlete who won a personal medal: bronze in the individual race. One slip separated him from the gold. But he did not get into the men's relay, because he had an unsuccessful stage in the mixed relay, which took place before the classical relay. Coaches did not take risks and this is understandable. On final stage season, in Holmenhollen, Zhenya took second place in the sprint.
The 2014-2015 season ended in seventh place overall. At Antholz he had second place in the sprint and third place in the pursuit. In Holmenkollen, Evgeny managed to win silver for the second year in a row - this time in the individual race.
In the 2015-2016 season at the KM stages, Evgeny had two bronze medals in personal races and two golds in relay races. In the 2016-2017 season, Evgeny was not completely healthy for a long time, he missed quite a few races. One prize-winning place (bronze in the relay in Antholz). In individual races, two eighth places were the best (sprint and mass start) at the stage in Holmenkollen.
Evgeny Garanichev - Russian biathlete, who won third place at the 2014 Olympics in the individual races. In addition to the Olympic bronze, the athlete became the European champion three times, repeatedly climbed the podium of the World Cup stages.
Garanichev Evgeny Alexandrovich was born on February 13, 1988 in the small village of Novoilinsky, Nytvensky district of the Perm Territory. The boy's childhood passed normally. Eugene was fond of the same things as his peers. But still, an example for him was his older brother, who attended the sports section, the only one in the village at that time. Parents, following in the footsteps of their eldest son, sent eight-year-old Eugene to the same school. It was since then that Evgeny Garanichev became interested in skiing. In the future, it will become clear that the choice was made correctly.
The biography of Evgeny Garanichev has since been closely associated with cross-country skiing. As time has shown, the forces were not wasted in vain. At the world championship, Evgeny Garanichev won first place together with biathletes Andrei Feller, Petr Sedov and Raul Shakirzyanov.
In Italy, Garanichev became the second at the World Championship among juniors and youth. The race included Ivan Ivanov, Dmitry Vasilyev, Evgeny Garanichev and Andrey Parfenov. Then Russian skiers lost to the Swiss by 0.3 seconds. Most bright moments of that period are captured in personal photos of Evgeny Garanichev.
Biathlon
Garanichev came to biathlon in 2008. By this time, Eugene was convinced that skiing would not bring great achievements in the Perm region, where the conditions did not correspond to high-quality training. Skiers of the section did not participate in the competitions, because the region's budget did not have enough sponsorship funds. Eugene aspired to heights, and the desire was so irresistible that the only way out was to go to the biathlon school, whose coach was Maxim Vladimirovich Kugaevsky.
In a single race, the athlete achieved a high result at the stage of the Russian Cup of the 2009/2010 season in biathlon "Izhevsk Rifle". Traditionally, this race was attended by the best biathletes countries. Then Eugene won 4th place in the individual 20-kilometer race. At the 10-kilometer distance entered the top ten. With this result, Evgeny Garanichev received a ticket to the European Cup.
In 2010, at the Russian Championships, the biathlete showed enough good result in the sprint and pursuit, the result of which in the final standings brought Evgeny 4th place. In the mass start, the young biathlete won the bronze medal.
For the first time, Evgeny Garanichev took part in the 2011 World Cup in Anterselva. First sprint race was not easy for the athlete, and he took 13th place. As part of the Russian national team, the biathlete competed in relay races in 2011.
A tense struggle led to the fact that Garanichev made 2 misses in the first firing line. On the second, the biathlete used one additional cartridge. Yevgeny Garanichev passed the baton to Andrey Makoveev with a lead of 9.5 seconds from the famous biathlete. On the last lap, the difference increased by another 0.2 seconds. The results of the competition showed 4th place for the Russian biathlon team. Then Russian athletes lost the championship to German, Italian and Norwegian biathletes.
Evgeny Garanichev was included in the Russian biathlon team to take part in XXII Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. Already on February 8, 2014, Zhenya participated in the Olympics race for the first time in his career. In the sprint, Garanichev made an unfortunate miss, which led him to 27th place.
The real success and finest hour of the biathlete came on February 13th. Coming to the start of the individual race, Garanichev, to the surprise of many, came third, having won the only individual Olympic medal in the Russian biathlon team.
The coaches approved the candidacy of a young biathlete for mixed relay, but Evgeny went to the penalty loop, so the Russian team got fifth place. After the German team was disqualified, the final result of the Russian team is 4th place.
The Russian biathlete took sixth place in the sprint of the 2014/2015 Biathlon World Championships. The biathlete of the Russian national team claims that he showed everything that he was capable of at that time. The athlete was embarrassed by the weather conditions of the Finnish Kontiolahti. When shooting, the wind appears and disappears. Following the Czech, I hoped that it would be easier to shoot, so I did not overtake him. But the wind, on the contrary, stubbornly blew in the face. On the whole, I am satisfied with the course, on the last lap I tried to overtake those in front. In an interview, the athlete said that sixth place is a good result and, in principle, he is satisfied with it.
In general, during this season at the stages of the World Cup, the athlete won two gold, silver and bronze medals, which allowed him to get to seventh place overall standings. The following season, the biathlete improved his position on points, while gaining one silver medal less. But further in the World Cup competitions, Garanichev was pursued more often by failures than victories. Together with his colleagues, Evgeny brought Russia only third place at the relay stage in Antholz.
Personal life
The personal life of Yevgeny Garanichev has developed romantically and predictably. In 2013, the athlete married his girlfriend Lyudmila Tyutikova. Luda was also born in the Perm Territory in 1986. By the time she met Eugene, the girl was studying at the Perm State Institute of Art and Culture. The marriage took place in the pre-Olympic year in Tyumen, where Garanichev trained. Even the superstitions common in the sports environment did not interfere with the newlyweds. The bride and groom arrived at the registry office during a break between Evgeny's training sessions. Accompanied a couple only and. Photos of Evgeny Garanichev and his wife after the wedding scattered all over the Internet.
Eugene says that he met his wife back in 2007, when the athlete went skiing for the last year. After the training camp, Eugene and his sister rested in a billiard club, where the guy first saw Lyudmila.
The athlete admits that every time he came back from the training camp, he noticed new qualities of his beloved and seemed to recognize her again. Lyudmila patiently waited for him from all the competitions. The first son was born on January 1, 2016. The newborn was named Eugene. Two years later, on January 2, 2018, Lyudmila gave her husband Andrey's second son.
