Who has earned the skilki, has worked the skilki, and what do we have to work with us.
Biathlon winter is over. For the sake of the season, the Ukrainian sportsmen were able to seriously improve their performance, having taken part in the world championship. But in the whole season, it is unlikely that one can be satisfied. As a reminder, the head coach of the women’s team, Andriy Prokunin, retired, having worked with the team for more than one season.
How about another season? Will we fail? Season of regression chi incremental progress? Mabut, mustache and giblets. Tse bula is definitely ambiguous biathlon winter. Sport Arena tells about the season for the help of ten facts.
1. Season of Dmitry Pidruchny
Undoubtedly, Dmytro Pidruchny is the best Ukrainian biathlete of the season. The captain of the human team rewrote history, won gold in world championships, and became the leader of the team for the most races.
Dmitro litav at the stages in the USA and Canada, and after the turn he managed to take part in the European championship. In fact, not having missed the next great start, not going to individual races anymore. As a result, 30 races per season is the best result among Ukrainians.
Anastasia Merkushina was one race away from Dmitr, and she has 29 races. Until then, Nastya became one of six biathletes, yakі held the same program at the championship of the world. Artem Prima showed the same result in a moment, but through the ailment of the wines he missed a decal of starts at the championship of the world, he has 26 races in the new one.
2. IBU prize pool
For the cob a short educational program: the IBU is trying to get the sum of prizes for high results at its competitions. To earn money at the stages of the World Cup, it is necessary to spend in the top 15 in special races, or in the top 6 in relay races. The prizes for starts during the IBU Cup are top 6 (special races) and top 3 (relay races).
The best in the Ukrainian team for the sum of IBU prize-winning events became (unsuccessful, bad?) Dmytro Pdruchny. Champion of the world less than for the sprint that race was retried in Jestersund, winning 35 thousand euros – much more, lower than the closest retrial. Usyi has 47,250 euros in Dmitri’s assets, which is the best result in the career.
In another place, Yuliya Jimi is explained more simply: 15 thousand won for winning the first race of the season, another 11 – for the distance performance in the relay races and the 10th month in the sprint at the stage in the USA. In fact, another place for the prize-winners at the warehouse of Ukraine, Jim, got better on the first day of the season.
In the top 5, Yuliya Zhuravok spent the sum of the prize money, moreover, 9,850 of her own 10,600 won were earned at the stages of the IBU Cup.
3. Podgrushna again can’t go back to health
The beginning of the season was very encouraging for Olenya Podgrushnaya: she started far away, for the first three stages she never made it to the top 30 (so you don’t wreck the races, you didn’t finish). Ale potіm mustache in kotre zіpsuvalosya: problems zі zdorov’yam, dostrokov end of the season.
Behind a similar scenario, the third biathlon winter of the captain of the women’s team is taking shape. For the rest of the two seasons, she had a total of 23 races (7 races less, lower Dmytro Prudruchny tsієї winter). If the number of starts for the remaining three seasons (2016-19) and the remaining full season (2015/16) are equal, then the results are not even disputed: 41 starts in three seasons against 30 starts in one season.
4. Falling on a rhubarb on a cob kar’єri in the form of sisters Semerenko
A mustache may have its own cob and its own end. The Semerenko sisters had a winter decal of decent starts, they could have taken part in the relay race, but in general – this was a frantic season for Valentina and Vitya.
On the 33rd of March, Semerenko was caught by the announcement that they plan to continue the career and will spend the coming season. 34-year-old Anastasia Kuzmina, having won gold in the championship of the world and finishing third in the hall, voted about the completion of the career in special races.
5. Jimma also regressed a lot.
The cards showed up just like the season: Yuliya Dzhima said that she had been struggling with various problems all winter. For example, at the championship of the world, a back injury was all over the place, it was taken off shortly before the first cob. But for whatever reason, the stench immediately showed up on the results: as soon as shooting was abandoned for Yuliya, then the speed of the past seasons arose. At the same time, high results emerged from it.
6. Pique Semenov continues
Sergiy Semyonov, like Yulia Jima, having passed through a weak season, having forgotten only one start: the first race of the season. We finished the same day by scoring 38 points and giving hope to those who missed the last season. It did not work out: for the upcoming 11 special starts, Semyonov scored less than 27 points, 11 less, lower for those individual racers.
7. Without Ukrainians in the top 30 in the hall
Vlasne, if you eat a little. 14 seasons so far, I would like one Ukrainian to finish the season in the top 30 of the main hall. Tsієї winter the series ended. The best result is 35th place for Anastasia Merkushina, other finishes lower. No comments: show-offs by Jimi, Podgrushnaya and Semerenko are not the best explanation of the situation.
8. Where is the progress of Merkushina?
Prodovzh tsієї winters Anastasia Merkushina immushena pretended to be the leader of the women’s team. Vaughn had the most starts, showed the best result in the middle of Ukrainians. Ale mustache already here Bulo. Merkushina, in fact, did not grow a yakіsny krok forward. Vaughn, like before, was well prepared for the championship of the world, de showed good results. Ale sho cream new?
For povnyannya – the progress of the Swede Hanni Eberg, one of the Ukrainian supergirls in juniors. Already at the same time, Eberg is an Olympic champion and a champion of the world, and Merkushina is full of talent, which is not shot through.
9. Tishchenko is one of the best snipers in the world
Vlasne, I don’t put any doubts on this thesis. Artem Tishchenko is one of the best snipers of the Ukrainian team, and so the world. It’s a pity, it’s impossible to show, Crimea shooting, Artem can’t. The 1st season without becoming a breakthrough: I’m glad to see you now, having overtaken the fact that Tishchenko will not be the main team until Beijing-2022.
10. Record for wins – is it good?
I to the good: the victories of Julia Jimmy and Dmytro Pidruchny turned the whole biathlon season into one of the best in Ukrainian history. Paradoxical, but true. More blue-yellow biathletes won more in the seasons 1998/99 and 1999/00, if the fairy Olena Zubrilov.
