The triumph of the Russian ski jumper Evgeniy Klimov at the World Cup in Wisla will not be the last in his career, representatives of this sport are sure. On Sunday, the 24-year-old native of Perm celebrated success at the opening stage, jumping the best from a large springboard (134 m). This is the first gold Russian men in competitions of this level throughout post-Soviet history. Thanks to this victory, Evgeniy Klimov led the overall World Cup standings. In Kuusamo he will perform in the leader's yellow jersey - this has never happened to our jumpers.
Successful pre-season
Evgeniy Klimov has been the leader of the men's jumping team for several years now - he regularly places in the top ten at numerous international competitions. However, gold at the opening World Cup stage of the season was a real breakthrough for him.
The key to our athlete’s success was the good summer training carried out by the new head coach of the Russian national team, Evgeniy Plekhov, - Honored Coach of the Russian Federation, member of the board of the Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined Federation of Russia (FPLTLDR) Alexander Arefiev shared his opinion with Izvestia. - Even before the season, Klimov performed well at the summer Grand Prix, so there were reasons to expect successful jumps from him at the World Cup.
FPLTLDR President Dmitry Dubrovsky noted that the Russian ski jumper compared to previous seasons has found the necessary stability and its current success is natural.
Klimov won all three jumps in Vistula: both the qualifying and both qualifying jumps,” Dubrovsky told Izvestia. - On Saturday, in the team start, Evgeniy competed in the strongest group and showed second and third results there. Its current form is not an accident, but a pattern. It’s especially gratifying that in the month and a half between the Grand Prix and the start of the World Cup, Klimov retained not only his inner spirit, but also his muscle sensations, which are extremely important for a jumper.
After the unsuccessful for Klimov Winter Olympics In Pyeongchang, the men's team underwent a change in coaching staff, the goal of which was to improve the performance of the leader.
The key change compared to last season is that Klimov believed in himself more, he explained to Izvestia. head coach Russian national team Evgeny Plekhov. - A year ago he also had a good time summer competitions, but in winter season he had a technical glitch. We paid attention to its elimination in preparatory period already this year. Evgeniy himself did a good job in both speed-strength and technical training. That's why such progress has happened now. We will try to work to ensure that these successful results are stable. But I wouldn’t make any guesses just yet. In our semi-extreme sport, any changes in weather conditions can lead to the most unexpected outcomes of the competition.
Transition from biathlon
Initially, Evgeniy Klimov competed in Nordic combined, where in January 2014 he won bronze at the World Junior Championships. A month later, at the Olympics in Sochi, he became third in the jumping part, but dropped to last place due to unsuccessful performance in the race.
Klimov’s talent was evident from a young age,” continued Alexander Arefiev. “He started out in Nordic combined and was already a great jumper. There was a desire to transfer him to ski jumping even before the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. But then the biathletes opposed this and kept Zhenya with them. This was later achieved by Dmitry Dubrovsky, who headed the federation in 2014 after the Sochi Olympics. He organized the transfer partly by order, and fought for this idea for a long time, although it had many opponents. In the end, I achieved my goal, and now we are reaping the fruits of that decision. Klimov’s success is the unconditional merit of the federation and its president, the head coach of the national team and the athlete himself.
The head of the federation, Dmitry Dubrovsky, believes that for a person who has been competing in ski jumping for three years (the transition to this sport took place in 2015), Klimov has made significant progress.
This is the fruit of three years of work in ski jumping, which is the merit of the new coaching staff of the national team and personal trainer Klimova. The results of the systemic decisions that were made by the federation after the Sochi Olympics are beginning to appear,” the head of the federation emphasized. - Finally, ski jumping in Russia has ceased to be a sport for statistics. Now our guys can fight for the highest places.
Russia is increasing competition
Evgeny Klimov gained wide fame in January 2017, when he won bronze at the Four Hills Tour in Innsbruck. However, the athlete subsequently had an unsuccessful Olympic season. According to Alexander Arefiev, the current success will not be the last in Klimov’s career.
Now Evgeniy looks much more confident and stable,” says Arefiev. - Yes, last season he had a decline, but over the years he has gained the necessary experience and now he is preparing for the season more carefully and accurately, he feels his shape better, so he is able to improve even more. I don’t know whether he will maintain his current condition until the World Cup, but at some stages of the World Cup he can give a few more successful performances. And then he can become the team leader at the Beijing Olympics. There are several talented guys among the juniors, and after the rejuvenation of the national team in 2022, Russia can be represented by a fairly strong team.
World Championship skiing types The sport, which is the main start of the season for ski jumpers, will take place from February 20 to March 3, 2019 in Seefeld, Austria.
The season is long - it lasts more than four months,” Dubrovsky summed up. - Starts take place almost every weekend. I think our coaching staff also understands this and will arrange preparations so that Klimov reaches peak form for the main competitions of the season, which are the January Four Hills Tour and the February World Championships. Next weekend there will be a World Cup stage in Finnish Kuusamo, and a week later there will be home starts in Nizhny Tagil. Let's see how much Zhenya can maintain her current form.
IN coaching staff The national team intends to systematically lead Klimov to the February World Cup, so they have not ruled out skipping the Japanese stage of the World Cup in Sapporo, which will be held at the end of January.
“We plan to systematically prepare Klimov and the rest of the team throughout the entire four-year cycle, because the main goal is success at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing,” says Evgeny Plekhov. - In this season, the main thing so far is to be in good shape for the February World Championships. It is possible that Evgeniy and other athletes will miss some stages of the World Cup in January. In particular, the Japanese stage in Sapporo raises concerns. Due to time zones, a decision may be made not to take Klimov there. But we will finally decide in January, when it will be clear how Evgeniy’s form is changing and what condition he is in during the season. The same applies to the rest of the guys.
Thanks to his victory in Wisla, Evgeniy Klimov led the overall World Cup standings. In Kuusamo he will perform in the leader's yellow jersey - this has never happened to our jumpers. There are only two to Klimov Russian athlete In this event they won medals at World Cup stages. These are Dmitry Vasiliev, who has nine personal and three team podiums (silver, bronze), and Pavel Karelin, who won silver in the 2010/11 season. Women managed to take gold in the 2013/14 season - Irina Avvakumova did this at the stage in Tchaikovsky.
Izvestia Help
The only one olympic medal- on the account of Vladimir Belousov, who won gold at the 1968 Games in Grenoble. Nikolai Kamensky achieved his first success at the world championships - second place in 1962. D
The only World Championship gold in the history of the USSR was won by Gariy Napalkov on both hills in 1970. In 1974 and 1978, Alexei Borovitin won bronze. In Soviet times, Pavel Kustov also won bronze in 1990.

Skiing. Types and rules
In alpine skiing, competitions (World Cup, World Championships, Winter Olympic Games) are held in five main disciplines. Technical events include slalom and giant slalom, while speed events include super-giant (or super-giant slalom) and downhill. The fifth discipline, the super combined, is a variant of Nordic combined, consisting of two attempts: super-G (or downhill) and slalom.
Each route is marked with blue and red gates. The skier must ride between two poles that form the gate. Typically, a slalom course has 55 to 75 gates for men and 40 to 60 gates for women. FIS clearly describes the rules and regulations for setting up slopes in each type of alpine skiing. An athlete who misses at least one gate, or crosses it with one ski, is disqualified. Results in slalom are determined by the sum of the times shown in two attempts on two different tracks.
Giant slalom differs from slalom in its large elevation difference (200-450 m for men, up to 400 m for women). The number of control gates is 56-70 (men), 46-58 for women. As in slalom, the results are determined by the sum of two attempts.
The length of the downhill course is usually 2000 - 4000 m (or more), the number of control gates is 11-25, the elevation difference is 500 - 1000 m or more. During downhill skiing, the speed of the skier reaches 130-145 km/h, and average speed driving along the highway is usually 100 km/h. Downhill skiing rules were first formulated by Sir Arnold Lunn in 1921 for the English Alpine Skiing Championships. The most difficult and prestigious downhill tracks are the Lauberhorn in Wengen (Switzerland) and the Streif in Kitzbühel (Austria). The classic stages of the World Cup in downhill racing are also considered to be the competitions in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Chamonix and Val Gardena. The winner is the athlete who shows best time while passing the route.
The rules of the super-G (super-G, super giant slalom) are generally most similar to downhill, but the super-G course has more turns, the course itself is somewhat shorter and has less elevation change. In the super-G, the winner is also determined by the results of one race.
The super-combined consists of a downhill race on a short course (or super-G) and one slalom attempt. For the first time a super combination in modern format appeared as an alpine skiing discipline at the 2007 World Championships in Åre (Sweden), and then at Olympic Games in Vancouver. The classic combination format included a downhill and two slalom attempts.
In competitions skiing At the Olympic Games, each country can enter 14 athletes (no more than 8 people of the same gender), as well as no more than 4 participants in each alpine skiing discipline. Selection for participation in the Winter Olympic Games is carried out based on the performance of athletes in the World Championships and World Cup stages in alpine skiing.
The winner of the season is determined by the sum of points accumulated at all stages of the World Cup in which he competed and was included in the points zone (in World Cup competitions, points for the overall standings and discipline standings are awarded for being among the top 30, in the World Cup finals - the best 15) . The overall winner receives the main prize of the season - the Big Crystal Globe or the World Cup. The winner in each of the five disciplines receives a “Small Crystal Globe” or a small World Cup. World Championships are held every two years, usually in February. Points scored at World Championship competitions (as well as in the Olympic Games) are not taken into account in the overall standings and discipline standings.

The Team Russia guide will help you understand everything related to cross-country skiing.
The best athletes in cross-country skiing are united in the national team of the country. Belonging to one or another sports club in most cases it is not decisive. The main competitions in cross-country skiing: the World Cup, the World Championships (held every two years) and the Olympic Games (every four years).
World Cup
In a format more or less similar to the current one, the World Cup appeared in 1981, uniting the largest competitions on the planet - mainly, of course, in Europe. The World Cup traditionally starts in Lapland at the end of November and ends in mid-March in Falun, Sweden. During this period, more than 30 starts await the athletes.
100 points are awarded for winning the race, 80 for second place, 60 for third, and so on, up to 30th place. Points go to overall standings World Cup. At the end of the season, the athlete who has earned the most cup points is awarded the Large Crystal Globe. A Small Sprint Crystal Globe is awarded for winning the sprint competition, and a Small Distance Crystal Globe for winning the distance competition (only long races). We will return to the issue of disciplines later.
The World Cup starts are the main races in the athletes’ calendar. They focus on them when preparing for the World Championships and Olympic Games. You could say this is the athlete's racing and professional base.
Tour de ski
It is included in the World Cup standings, but is included in a separate, very prestigious category. It was first held in 2006 on the model of cycling stage races: 9 days, 7 races, one or two stages are usually sprint, the rest are distance. Takes place in central Europe: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Czech Republic. There is a general standings, a system of point modifications and intermediate bonus marks.The points go towards the overall World Cup standings, but only 50 points are given for winning the race, but the points are doubled in the final overall standings.
World Championship
The World Ski Championships take place every two years, usually in February, and include the entire program of disciplines: sprint, team sprint, individual race, skiathlon (formerly 30 km mass start), relay race and ski marathon. Results at the World Championships are not transformed into World Cup standings - athletes compete only for medals.
Olympic Games
Games for a ski racer are similar to the world championship - the same six races and the same system. The Games are held every four years, so an Olympic medal is the most valuable award for any athlete. However, winning the overall World Cup is probably even more difficult.
Ski Classic Marathon Series
This elite series includes several classic European ski marathons with history. There is no national division here, but there are divisions of athletes into teams - like in professional cycling. Almost all marathons are held in the classic style, and in recent years they have been run with fashionable and fast double-poling (at the same time stepless). Among the most famous marathons: Marchalonga, Vasaloppet, Sgambeda.
There are also marathons, united in the Worldloppet series, which are held all over the world - from America to Japan. And the Russian analogue is Russialoppet, but all these three series do not appear on Russian television.
Disciplines in cross-country skiing
Sprint.Consists of qualification and final part. 30 make it to the final round best athletes from a qualifying race, usually lasting 1.5 kilometers. Final part divided into quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals. There are six people running in each quarter-final, so there are five races in total. Based on the results of the quarterfinal race, the two fastest from each race and the two best in time among those who took places lower than second - luckylosers - go directly to the semifinals. The same formula applies in the semi-finals; the fastest wins in the final.
Team sprint.It is held mainly twice during the cup season, as well as at the World Championships and Olympic Games. Teams are formed from two representatives of the same national team. As part of the team sprint, participants go through three sprint stages, replacing each other. The discipline has little in common with real sprinting, so stayers and even marathon runners feel good here - you need a lot of speed endurance.
Time trial race (individual race).They are carried out quite often and at different distances. At the World Championships and Olympic Games, the traditional distance for individual races is 10 km for women and 15 km for men, however, within the World Cup and stage races, the distance may vary.
Pursuit.It is held at the Tour de Ski and once again at the end of the cup season at the Swedish mini-stage race. Racers start according to the time shown in the time trial.
Skiathlon.A race with a mass start, where half the distance is carried out in the classic style, and the other half in free style, with a change of skis in a special transit area. Men run 15 km classic style and 15 km speed skating. Women - 7.5 + 7.5. During multi-day races, the distance is often shorter.
Mass start. Traditional racing with a common start, where a large group of athletes starts at the same time and covers a certain distance. The most popular race from the general start is the marathon, but there are many other races for other, more short distances, mainly within the framework of multi-day races.
Relay.Team race, each team has four athletes. Two stages are held in the classical style, two in free style. The most common distance format for women is 4 x 5 km, for men - 4 x 10 km.
