at the request of the workers (thanks for reminded) I will add another beautiful German - Alexander Wolf
Among the sports disciplines in biathlon is very difficult to determine who is worthy of the titled Master of Sports. Together with this there is a certain ranking scale, which allows you to determine who from the athletes are worthy of the title the best biathlete of the world. Now each country has a two-seat as a major sport, there is its own list of legends that citizens of the country are proud of.
Biathlon, as an independent sport appeared relatively recently. Northern Peoples have a skiing, which was a cultural part of the development of local communities. However, as a sport, this discipline appeared relatively recently. The first attempts to give "sportiness" were undertaken in 1767. It became the cultural part of the competitions of Swedish and Norwegian border guards of that time.
In 1924, at the first winter Olympiad in Chamonix (France), did not know how to call sports discipline. We decided to assign "races of military patrols", however, IOC did not agree with this title, since there should be something that such associated with the war in sports, the army. The pacifists managed only in 1948 to convince that the "Military" race should not be called. In 1960 For the first time in the Winter Olympics, as in all global sports, the name of the two appeared.
If we now look at the detailed list the best biathletes, I will pay attention to that they represent the same countries. Currently, this sport is maintained at the state level in the following states:
- Russia;
- France;
- Austria;
- Belarus;
- Ukraine;
- Norway;
- Sweden;
- Italy;
- China;
- Canada;
- Eastern European states.
According to the statistics of the official IOC, international events take an active part The best biathletes Of the 43 countries (for 2017). The International Union of the Two Children is confidential from 68 countries of the world. Since 1998, SMEs (the International Union of Biathletes), which obeys IOC. In Russia, the activity of the federal is regulated by the SBR, which was formed in 1992
According to international rules, there are seven racing discharges that are included in the Olympic and international programs:
- Individual race.
- Sprint.
- The pursuit.
- Mass start.
- Relay race.
- Mixed group.
- Single relay (mixed group).
In addition, there are 8 groups, which is not yet recognized as official IOC, this is MEGA mass start.
Below we will present a list of those who are rightfully considered the best biathlonist. It is difficult to give a priority to someone, as each winner is worthy of this high title.
Ule Einar Bjerndalen
He is rightfully considered the king of biathlon. Norwegian has already received 6 titles at the World Cups at an early age. Numerous winner of many prestigious international fuel tournaments. In addition, he has an honorable 2 place in all types of winter competition. In his piggy bank, about 93 awards in various races, in the team races there are 23 awards. One deserved award in ski discipline.

Starting from 1992, he is in the national team of Norway. The main peak of his sports career came in 2002, where he at the Olympics managed to start 4 gold medals at once in the individual part of the winter racing.
Now the athlete lives in Austria, there is a wife, there are no children. Uh-Einar still takes part in competitions, but, alas, he has no higher results.

At the age of 25, she was twice managed to have gold at the Olympics, 12 times became the winner of the largest international championships. In her piggy banks, the Greater Globe was winning three times. It is even difficult to mentally imagine that such an elegant and fragile girl has already been 34 times on global pedestals.
Magdalena was born in Germany, in a small village of Walgaau. Her debut came to 2006, and in the 2007 Victory in Oberhof in Sprinter. The peak of its main success - 2010, in Vancouver on the OI Magdalena, 2 gold takes at once. Alas, it was the last splash of her glory, after which she left the selected direction.

Now Sven has moved away from big sport, but it works on television, as a sports commentator. Married, there are two children.
Magdalena Forsberg.
We are accustomed to see only Germans, Russians, and and Scandinavians on the pedestals. However, among the titled biathletes there is a representative of Switzerland. Forceberg won two "snowy" Olympiads with bronze awards. In the period 1994-2002 was the owner of a large crystal globe.
42 awards are conquered in individual races. In the two-chair, Forceberg came from ski racing, where she had never had performance. Big Sport Magdalena left in 2002, married Frederick Forcebrag, and now is the leading national German programs.
Raphael Poire.
The French titled athlete has no equal. In his career, you can count 44 prizes in individual sprint races. At the World Championships, he became 8 more prize. The repeated owner of the prestigious reward award "Big Globe" - 4 times.
Rafael's career completed in 2007, in 2018 he had a proposal to start coaching activities, and as an option - to head the national team of Belarus (male team).
Ursula Dilz
The Name of the German is very famous in the sports circles. Twice she became the world Olympic champion. In her arsenal 8 wins in the world championships. The total number of ascents on the pedestal of the honorable is 19 times.
In an individual race, Ursula became the prize of almost 30 times. If you consider this indicator, then it is 3rd place in the world, only the best biathletes of Russia are ahead. Sports career Dilz completed in 2006 and is now serving in the German Bundeswehr.
Alexander Tikhonov
Russian and Soviet snow shooters are very many titled personalities. All do not list, however, leadership in this belongs to Alexander Tikhonov, which is considered to be The best biathlete of the USSR.
He was 4 times in a row became the winner of the Winter Olympic Games. The number of his victories in the relay is difficult to calculate. In his piggy bank there are championship titles on world competitions, only 11 times he was a world champion. In the USSR, he confessed 14 times the best athlete in his sportsdiscipline. International organizations assigned the title "Best Winter Sniper 20 century."
Liv Greg Poire
Greten is known not only as a successful athlete, but also as the wife of his famous husband, also a two-seat in the profession - Raphael Poire. This is a rare case when the wife and husband are at the same time entering the top of the best biathletes of the world.
She is 3 multiple Winter OI champion, 8 times was the winner of the world championships. She is one of the only biathletes who managed to conquer 4 medals at once within one championship, and all the golden. In her honorary arsenal there are 22 victories. Biathlon's departure took place in 2006. It is now thinking about further coaching career together with his husband.

The German arrows, along with the Norwegians and the Russians, confidently hold pedestals on the largest contests. A vivid example of this is the results of the team player Ricco Gross.
In his professional step there are 4 deserved gold for Zoe. At all world championships, he grabbed 9 gold and well-deserved awards, in the individual sprint of his as many prize winners - 9. Now Rikko is headed by the National Women's FRG team in Biathlon.

For her character and behavior, she gained gentle nicknames from fans and journalists - "Red Hood" and "Red Bestiya". From 2011 she left the sport, now one brings up a juvenile daughter.
Conclusion
Starting from 1924, the biathlon is recognized as official sports discipline at the Winter OI, although up to 1960 was called differently. There are now various programs and the directions of the development of biathlon, which have both a cup direction and unconference and regional.
There are three official divisions of sports discipline, it is:
- Male and female team formulations;
- Junior Groups - Guys and Girls;
- Age group of youth and girls.
The global standard is included in regional and non-regional events, including:
- Olympic World Winter Games;
- Winter Universiade;
- Worldwide masters;
- World WSI (military sports direction);
- Winter World Youth Olympiad;
- Holiday of the Sports North;
- Winter games in the Arctic;
- European Winter Festivals (Youth).
In each event, we see the participation of the legends of biathlon, which in the future lead the ratings - a list of the best sniper of the world.
Only in 1992. Biathlon won huge recognition due to its entertainment. Today, the popularization of this sport goes in many countries of the world. In Russia, the biathlon from the moment of its separation was a very popular viewer. Today, he can easily compete with hockey and curly skating. Separately, it is worth noting that the biathlon is simultaneously a single and team sport, which also warms up interest. Soviet school testified Russian fame winners and honorable name. Biathlonists of the Russian Federation and today try to keep the bar and be at the level with their titled predecessors.
A truly star biathlon star is Russian Vladimir Drachev. The representative of the Soviet school successfully advocated Russia. As a result: four medals of the highest sample on the championships of the planet. In 2002, due to the conflict with the leadership, Vladimir began to speak for the Belarusian national team, where after 4 years she completed his career. Also, the serious achievement of Dracheva is the conquest of the World Cup in the 1995-1996 season.
Another famous biathlete - Nikolay Kruglov also won gold on the world championship four times. Nizhegorodets recently completed his career in great sports, during which his father always helped him. Dad, the former biathlete, was a personal coach of Nicholas. In 2006, Krugl-Jr. bought a gold medal of his father, whom he sold to be able to help her son stand on his feet in a big sport.
In 2006, Pavel Rostovtsev who ended in 2006 has 3 gold medals of the world championship and twice as many silver awards. Also, Paul's second place was made at the Olympics in Turin. The second, he became based on the World Cup-2002.
Three gold gathered on the championships of the planet and Victor Maigurov. Honored Master of Sports and twice the Olympic medalist first advocated Belorussia. From the OI-1998 in Nagano, Victor goes to the Stall of the Russian national team and immediately rises to the pedestal of the honorable. Career developed progressively. One of the important achievements of an athlete - winnings first in the history of the championships of the race of persecution.
The club of three-time world champions includes two operating biathletes: Maxim Miracles and Ivan Vysov. Maxim performs at a serious level since 1998, and Ivan since 1995. Peak career first came to the World Championship 2008, where the miracles in the final of the relay was overtaken by the very Einer Bjorndalena, after which he received a nickname Russian rocket. Ivan to this day pleases biathlon lovers with brilliant results. He is known as an unsurpassed shooter. Accuracy of hits of targets is more than 90%.
Two-time world champions among Russian biathletes are Sergey Tarasov and Dmitry Yaroshenko. Sergey was one of the strongest Soviet athletes. In the history of Russia, Tarasov was remembered by a brilliant victory in the individual race in 1996 on the World Cup. Dmitry Yaroshenko began to play for the national team in 1987. Throughout the career, Yaroshenko became the winner of the relay, the owner of the Small World Cup on the results of the persecution race and occupied the second line in the ranking of the general competition of the World Cup. In the career of Dmitry, there were not very pleasant moments when he was removed from the big sport because of doping. In 2010, the athlete was completely rehabilitated. Today, Yaroshenko is trying to win the place under the sun in the biathlon team.
The owner of numerous medals and awards of various dignity Sergey Chepikov most of his career spent the USSR national team. However, speaking for Russia, also managed to get to the highest step of the pedestal of honor at the World Championships. It was in 2006 as part of a mixed relay.
The heroes of our days Evgeny Ustyugov, Maxim Maximov and Anton Shipulin are famous for the whole world athletes. Moreover, Ustyugov is the champion of the last Olympiad in the race from the general start. Eugene was born in the family of skiers. By inheritance, all the qualities of the real athlete crossed it. Today, Evgeny Ustyugov is one of the authoritative members of the Russian national biathlon team. He has repeatedly experienced a yellow t-shirt leader at the stages of the planet Cup. Maxim Maximov has no gold awards with serious competition, but in his assets, many silver and bronze medals, including from the World Cups. Colleague Maksimova Anton Shipulin fell to the main national team after the total triumph at the European Junior Championships 2008. In the past season, the first victory in the personal races in adult competitions came to Anton. At the World Cup stage in Antholz, Sipulin won sprint.
Dmitry Malyshko. Rod Dmitry from a small town of Sosnovy Bor in the Leningrad Region. What is noteworthy, this city is known for the strong base for the preparation of biathletes. It is probably given to the impetus to the development in Dmitry Talent, because the father recorded him in the second grade in the biathlon section. The first coach he had Yuri Panferov. When Dmitry grew out of the age of Junior, Curability took Dmitry Kucherov over him.
I saw the legendary coach ascending star on the Winter Games in Saransk. Then the young biathlete was bronze. Further, he went to St. Petersburg and tried to leave the sport, but soon realized that with biathlon they were associated forever. For the first time debuted on the adult arena in the 2009-2010 season. Then he received silver at the European Championships. Then suffered an operation on the heart muscle and returned to the sport in the 2011-2012 season, having received a gold award on international competitions. The best season for him was 2012-2013. He brought the athlete 2 silver and 2 gold medals.
Alexey Volkov. Since 2009, the athlete performed as part of the junior biathlon team. Then he had a debut in the World Cup, in Sweden, but then he took only 74th place. Also this year, Alexey performed in an individual race, which was held in Canada. She walked brilliantly, and the young biathlete earned a gold medal. And as part of the national team, in the same world championship for juniors, received a silver reward. In the same year, in the Junior European Championship, he received bronze in the pursuit race.
The grandiose breakthrough in the career occurred in 2012 at the World Cup in Oberhof, then I was able to conquer silver. In each subsequent season, Alexey performed brilliantly and received silver medals.
Evgeny Garanichev. For the first time began to get involved in biathlon in 2008. And after 2 years, the athlete has already achieved his first success on the competition "Izhevsk rifle". In 2011, there was a debut at the World Cup, which was held in Antersell. At the Olympic Games in Sochi received a bronze medal in a personal standings.

In the same year, at the World Championships in Hochfilzen, as part of the Russian team, the brilliant and best result - 10th place showed.

Ursula (ears) "Turbo" -dizl (it. Ursula (USCHI) DISL;
7 Phenchhan Favorites, whose condition at the beginning of the Olympic season raises questions.
In the elite of world biathlon in recent years, very few new names. Circle of applicants for high places is wide, but stable. Therefore, the fallout of individual stars is always very noticeable. Of course, in the Olympic season some leaders are wischant with the form, trying to get out to the maximum in February. But by and large, the same thing happens in other years - on the eve of the World Championships. So the results of the first three stages of the World Cup are now indicative, although many biathletes still have the opportunity to correct the impression in the first starts of 2018. Who is currently the main disappointment?
1. Ole Einar Bjorndalen (Norway)

The famous veteran clearly holds the last season in a career and is preparing specifically to Pytenchhan. For the sake of this, he missed the stage of the World Cup in Annecy and set off for fees in the mountains, which many times helped him cheer up. True, now in the revival of legends is hard to believe. Supernorvazz was not on the podium of personal races for more than a year, and did not win personal starts since the 2015th. Obviously, the main hopes for the 2018 medals of the 2018 Ole Einar binds with the relay. At the recent stage in Austria, Bjorndalen did not fail his national team. But for the Norwegian coaches, the biathlon rate, which in the last 9 personal races did not rise above the 17th place - this is a serious risk.
Anton Shipulin . Photo AFP.
The current cup start of the leader of the men's team of Russia is the weakest in recent years, even taking into account the fact that Anton is always hard in the season. In front of Sochi -2014 for the three first stage, he also had only one personal bronze, but then the mood had noticeably improved the relay victory, which in the end managed to repeat both at the Olympics. Now, Sipulin is no longer moral right to consider itself "first after Fourcade", and the fifth place in the overall competition of the World Cup is superimposed by the experiences associated with the neutral status of the Russian national team at the Olympiad in Phenchhan. In general, if Shipulin does not plan to become a viewer at the main competition of four, he needs to add sharply.
Two-time silver medalist of the Olympics in Sochi is one of those who are "riding the fair." The peak of the German career came to the post-Polympic 2015 World Championship, after which his results steadily go down. True, this season he noted two third places in personal races, but it is obvious that the lassel time passed - the finish finish in the fourth ten is now becoming more accustomed to him. Eric is still capable of feats in the single mixture, but this discipline, unfortunately for the two-time world champion, is not yet Olympic.

Another chronically sick star. This season, a 28-year-old athlete marked only a scandal in social networks about his statements about Russian doping. All three start-up stages of the Cup World Cup missed due to problems with the ion muscles, and the prospects for the return of Gabriel to the system are still very foggy. Even if she returns to a skiing in January, it is not at all the fact that it will immediately begin to show competitive results. It is likely that the dream of Czech about the Olympic gold, not implemented in Sochi, will remain a dream.
The three-time Olympic champion will definitely not dominate Phenchchana as well as on games in Sochi. She is still able to win any start, but the power of the Belarusian stars are no longer the. After a long break in the career, connected first with mononucleosis, and then with the birth of a child, Domrachev won for a year only one race. This season she missed five races from 11. On the one hand, such selectivity can talk about a focus on the main start - Olympiad. On the other hand, Daria clearly protects energy and emotions, and if, for example, Laura Dalmayer will again catch a courage, then Dracheva can simply not be introduced to the new chance to shine.

Last season, the status of the first issue of the Russian national team was stamped, but in the current World Cup in all items loses returned from the decree Ekaterina Yurlovoy-Percht. Even though the latter also acts without much shine. Last season, the peak form Akimova fell on the pre-Christmas stage of the World Cup, but now it did not happen, and hope is just that Tatiana still has been released from all of their problems and will show a class in Phenchhan. One place in the top ten in the 11th last personal races is, of course, this is not the stability to which we expected when they talked about the ascending star Akimoy.
in the Olympic season all over again cool) conclusions need to do after Korea
WEBA has already been "buried" the eighth year, and he never ceases to surprise, about Domrachev in general, Annecy she missed planned, and not because of fatigue, the same thing was in December 2013, and for three races 135 points (on average ) is the top level, while there is a problem with skis
Shipulin is also preparing for OI, but there is of course concerns that he after 30 years will go in the footsteps of Svensen ... Difficult and power athletes are difficult over the years with young
Cowkaalova this season with a probability of 99% skips, in what form it will be next? Or in general career will complete, it makes no sense to guess
Lesser is not such a star, Akimov, especially
"Cooling stars of the Russian media" - it would be more just
The article is completely stupid. Lesser is in order - he never had a pile of podiums, he just knows how to shoot on the HS. Although I personally would not want this in the future Olympics - does not follow the language. Domrachev is also in order. As for Akimova, she, of course, did not achieve the progress that we all waited. But then I would really have written "stars", but just "athletes".
But I would mention Ekkooff here, Dankley (a bad person - but in that season performed well), Laucan, of course, cheval. In men, shempp does not shine next to Anton. WINDISH does not show anything yet. Distorguev, the same seeds are not noticeable ...
In general, a lot of names. And who has a real decline, and who silent on the km for the sake of OI, we will only learn in February. Therefore, it was possible or not to write anything, or write a really big, thorough article no less than 15 names. And so it turned out. Honored Neud Author.
Well, the article ... yes, even did not even read - some kind of nonsense. Some random set, incomprehensible "cooling", far-reaching conclusions ... Baz-Baz, and by!
Did not even read. What to find fault in Shipulina When last season, he won the first victory only at the 6th stage. And the result is 2 place in general, he already has a medal. About Svendsen, the most over the past season he scored only five podiums and not one victory, but he became the seventh in general standings, and now it's just sick, therefore does not protrude. Lesser is generally 3 podium (this is without relay), the seventh place in the overall test of eight personal races 5 in the top ten, he from the Germans of the second in the overall test. Domrachev What a man did you in a big biathlon in the middle of last season and was returned and this season out of five races was the third one, and once you won and you think what you said quoting "Domracheva won for a year just one race" is bad? Total? Mda)). Akimov Star? Yes, she stably advocated the race was on the podium. This is the level of a good man of the top 15 ascending zzvar, this is when a young athlete breaks into the elite and begins to fall on the podium and win, and Tatiana is a stable high-quality fighter. According to your reasoning, Doren Aber is a star that has long extinguished, but it is not in your ranking. And where are Garanichev?
Not in the subject of articles. Surely under the New Year without the Obedians?
A view of the author without metrological calibration.
Such articles only litter your favorite biathlon site.
Akimov and Lessher - the current level of the once beloved "Sport-Express". The man of 7th goes in Total (so highly never ever), has 2 podium in December, which never happened. Akimov was never a top biathlete and favorite. Bottom.
Another star was announced not dyed, which appoints stars according to the technique known only for him.
There was no place for Nastya Kuzmin, but I found it to our Akimoy.
Nastya has long understood that the peak of the form can be achieved and not once for the season and is not shyring to take prizes here and now. Professor Hibadullin confirms this theory.
Our "strategy" of the training center in order to check this approval of the professor in practice simply dismissed from him and are waiting, it is not clear what, now that season, after which, as usual in justification: again, winter came unexpectedly.
Ivan Pokhimelyev, apparently on this principle, the article wrote))
Alexander01, fully agree with your opinion.
There is some kind of nonsense, and not an article ... Lesser is well cold ... the seventh in Total. Akimova - Star? ... Where is the echo, where is Pidgorchny? But the Sport-Express was once the best sports media, long ago, it was
About Ole Einar Bjorndalena in the article write: "... True, now in the revival of the legend to believe with difficulty. Supernorwater was not on the podium of personal races for more than a year ..., ".
Okay, it would be about the first places, but no, here it says about the podiums.
And the world championships are considered for personal racing? He at the past World Championships in February 2017 took a prize room in a personal start (bronze GP). So about the "more than a year" - here with the conclusions clearly hurried. In the same championship and Domrachev, something won and Dasha and Ole together were very satisfied. In 2016, he, too, at the World Championships, not only team medals took. It can be seen that it is properly supplied to certain starts. And the article is misleading, its authors do not understand the subject, the Sport-Express does not check the information - if only something to pump out. I am not a fan Bjorndalena, but I want to read normal materials from the prepared people.
Nick Kuzyansky, reluctance in the delight of grogging. Well, he said something (most likely something evil), and well. Anyway, no one understood anything
AMALEXANDER, again here painted @ cunks? Bronze in the GP in Sochi at the TEI OVERBERE AND MAVE GABRIEL, are not closely, remember the first Vancouver. Amazing you people are Russophobes. It turns out that Putin with Rusada since 2009 and to this day replaced sampling samples at all competitions, and the same Gaby suddenly, by chance, has become unconcast
Denis, is it easy to be a seer at the beginning of the season?
Cool!)) The most important thing is still ahead.
I agree with everything except Eric Lesser. Two podium and speed often in the top (when was it?) Speak about good shape. Excellent rapidity to everything gives to hope for a personal medal in any race. By the way, Eric easily picked up the acceleration of BE in contrast, but Johanes is now fourcade faster ...
Still not enough stars of past seasons Doren Aber. Here it really passed and accurately should be in this list.
Amalexander- What are you so suitable? Just thickened stone?
Cooling stars ... Chur, Chur me. Well, that while not cooled. Not at night will be said.
Right thriller some kind.
Severin, that's about Marie could really write. And it would be enough and swallowed. Although Svensen can still be "rebeling out of the ashes"). With Gaby, nothing is clear at all.
Instead of Akimova, it was possible to write about Dorin Abert, so she shone after childbirth, and now almost not heard and not visible.
Yeah ... no words, alone letters only and stayed
Some nonsense.
remen, do you mean already meeting NG? - "Start early"
From this list, the most pleased with Tanya! Let both cool down, but the star! One step with Gabi and Dasha put! Not bad!))
Annie, it was necessary to fill something urgently, and the photos fill very well.))
Elen, what's too early they start there
Yeah .. the article is strange .. it is mildly ...)
Absolutely disagree. Season 2017/2018 only in full swing, and make some kind of conclusions about "cooling" stars - I consider premature. The last results are talking about the opposite. At the expense of Gabi - we will wait. Time will tell.
Akimov Star?
I do not like the set of "cooling stars" and the base itself for their association in the "one bunch" is very dubious.
Ivan Pokhimeliev, I agree. And Shipulin is not in the case. And Bjorndalen did not cool at all. Judging by a brilliant staf. In his years! And Domrachev? - She will take away yet.
Nick Kuziansky, is Gabi to be in sorrow!? Girl since 2011 alone! Only in personal races, won at times! More! Than Both Russian national teams for the same period, together taken: OI (0-1-1) FM (1-2-1) BHG-1 MHG-6 km (16-9-7) 32! Now also the bronze medalist of Oi in the relay!
Dmitry, I generally like your kaments. But the previous speaker (Amalexander) I did not quite understand or even did not understand at all)) I can only - something unkind!)) Maybe you, Dmitry, are thrown - what is he?
AMALEXANDER, and head to think: Rusada has not controlled anything for a long time, and at km, with the exception of Khanty and Tyumen, and never controlled.
Nick Kuzyansky, ti do not guarantee solving immunity problems. Rather, on the contrary, the intervention in the organism of the "anti-asthma" drugs can create a problem with "natural" diseases.
Nick Kuziansky, I agree - it is possible and the sinister meaning to see in such a title
The main competitor knows perfectly, (at least, guesses) that there is no invitation to participate in the Olympiad from Madame Valerie Furneiron, he will not get! Due to the anamnesis and the named list of the "300 Spartans" Rusada - 2012/2015, a timely presented WADA in IOC, all federations and IBUs in particular.
Also knows that neither the SBR, nor the OCC, nor and even our Anders indebted, can not affect the decisions of the Madame Furiron Commission! But save the "great" from disqualification, they can quite, especially since the SBR and IBU have already been done all this and more than once in 2009/2014 ... But even when fulfilling the last condition, the great understands that day 01/28/2018 may Being afraid of the collapse of the whole career and the complete destruction of reputation! Because everyone, immediately it becomes extremely clear that all his last achievements in biathlon have been achieved only due to manipulations with its samples in Rusada.
However, save the situation (reputation) may be an elementary manifestation of a high sense of patriotism - "Russia Great Power!" This means, to exclude yourself from the list submitted by the OCD on the coordination of Madame Furonoron (especially since the OKR promised to consider such a decision) ... after which, our Anders who, before, interpreted from IBU, immediately, is temporarily From the list of candidates for disqualification. Everything! Reputation saved! You can and deputies ...
And all this is just to not get under the forced IBU solution, similar to Fis-Ski, which today removed eleven! Russian skiers led by a passenger one from all international competitions ...
The "cooled" laster 7th in Total, and at the end of last season was the tenth. Everyone would be so cool.
"Cooking Web" ... n-yes.
"Everyone knows the story as Emil Hegle on the eve of the World Championships, two months did not kiss his bride, in order not to catch any evil virus. And after that, still fainted after one of the races due to pressure problems. Now Svendsen said that he was very tired after the first stage of the World Cup, Gabriela Kookalov. Another chronically sick star. " -
Is that: "Sport - Health"? Or is it a payable?
In addition to Weba about others, it is too early to talk about "cooling"
