Biathlon is a pretty exciting sport followed by millions of spectators. Naturally, fans are not only concerned about sports achivments athletes, but also their personal life, as well as earnings. We'll talk about the latter. Let's find out how much Russian biathletes earn and what bonuses they receive at the World Cup stages.
world Cup
The world's largest annual biathlon competition is the World Cup. This competition has been held among men since 1978, and among women since 1987. At the moment, it consists of nine stages, which are held throughout the season in such countries:
- Russia;
- Canada;
- Sweden;
- Germany;
- Austria;
- Italy;
- Slovenia.
In each of the above countries, one stage is held per year, except for Germany, which had the honor to host two stages at once.
Competitions are held both in the individual race and in team relay in various disciplines. The winners are determined at separate stages, and by the overall standings, taking into account all competitions held under the auspices of the World Cup, including the World Championship.
Amount of prize payments
The amount of prize payments for achievements in the World Cup, depending on the place taken, changes almost every season. For achievements in the individual race, the prize money is awarded to a specific athlete, and in the relay race, it is distributed to the entire national team. Amounts of accrual of payments for occupied places at the World Cup stages, as well as for achievements in the overall standings in the 2014/2015 season, are presented in the table below.
| A place | Stage of the individual race, thous. | Overall standings of the individual race, thous. | Relay, thous. | Overall standings in relay races, thous. |
| 1 | €13,0 | €28,0 | €20,0 | €44,0 |
| 2 | €10,0 | €23,0 | €14,0 | €39,0 |
| 3 | €7,0 | €18,0 | €11,0 | €34,0 |
| 4 | €5,0 | €15,0 | €8,0 | €29,0 |
| 5 | €4,0 | €13,0 | €6,0 | €24,0 |
| 6 | €3,5 | €10,0 | €4,0 | €19,0 |
| 7 | €3,0 | €9,0 | €17,0 | |
| 8 | €2,0 | €8,0 | €14,0 | |
| 9 | €1,5 | €7,0 | €11,0 | |
| 10 | €1,0 | €6,0 | €9,0 |
Besides, russian Union biathletes pay extra 250,000 rubles to the athletes of our national team for victory at each stage, for the second place - 200,000 rubles, for the third place - 150,000 rubles, and one million rubles each for winning the World Championship.
It should also be noted that there is no single salary rate for athletes playing for the national team, and their income depends on the amount of prize payments.
Earnings of Russian biathletes
Now let's take a look at which of the Russian biathletes had the highest salary in the 2014/2015 season, taking into account the prize money at the stages of the World Cup, as well as another prestigious competition - IBU Cup.
| Sportsman | Prize payments for performance in the World Cup, thousand euros. | Prize payments for performance in the IBU Cup, thousand euros | The total amount of prize payments, thousand euros |
| Anton Shipulin | 109,8 | — | 109,8 |
| Evgeny Garanichev | 53,8 | 53,8 | |
| Dmitry Malyshko | 26,5 | 26,5 | |
| Timofey Lapshin | 26,3 | 26,3 | |
| Ekaterina Glazyrina | 22,0 | 22,0 | |
| Alexey Slepov | 18,8 | 18,8 | |
| Olga Podchufarova | 17,0 | 17,0 | |
| Alexey Volkov | 9,3 | 5,3 | 14,3 |
As you can see, Anton Shipulin is the leader in earnings among all biathletes in Russia with the result of 109,800 euros in prize money. He is followed by Evgeny Garanichev (€ 53,800) and Dmitry Malyshko (€ 26,500) Among women in the 2014/2015 season, Ekaterina Glazyrina earned the most money - € 22,000.
In addition, for the prizes at the World Cup, the Biathlon Union gave Anton Shipulin 2 million rubles as a bonus, and Evgeny Garanichev received 550 thousand rubles.
Comparison with the income of foreign biathletes
As mentioned above, the amount of earnings in biathlon primarily depends on personal achievements athlete. So there is no need to complain about the state if someone earned less than he hoped.
If you look at the earnings of the leading foreign biathletes, it turns out that for the 2014/2015 season, the winner of the World Cup Frenchman Marthe Fourcade earned a total of € 161,500, which is slightly more than 50 thousand euros more than the earnings of our Anton Shipulin. German Simon Schempp received € 115,300 last season, and Slovenian Yakov Fak - € 70,000, which is already less than Shipulin's earnings. It turns out that Anton Shipulin in the 2014/2015 season had the third highest income level among all biathletes in the world.
Among women, the largest earnings were earned by Belarusian Daria Domracheva (€ 158,000), Finnish Kaisa Mäkäräinen (€ 158,300) and Veronika Vitkova from the Czech Republic (€ 88,800). As you can see, in comparison with these indicators, the earnings of our best sportswoman Ekaterina Glazyrina are much lower. But, again, her income depends solely on her personal performance.
Comparison with earnings in other sports
Of course, if we compare the earnings of our biathletes with the income of the average Russian, then they seem quite large. But, at the same time, when compared with the fees of athletes in other sports, they will not be so significant. Thus, the annual earnings of many players of the leading clubs of the football, basketball and hockey leagues in Russia exceed 1 million euros.
It turns out that biathletes earn ten times less than representatives of the above sports.
Not to mention the famous professional boxers and tennis stars who, in one fight or tournament, can earn a fee 100 or more times higher than the annual salary of an athlete who has devoted his activities to biathlon. Even in volleyball, players' fees are much higher than those of biathletes.
This is due to the fact that biathlon is not as commercialized as the above sports disciplines, and also because it is less popular with the audience.
Martin Fourcade last season won the Big Globe and earned almost 190 thousand euros. A photo: .facebook.com / pages / Martin-Fourcade / 164403440240331
1. (France)
€ 188,425
The best biathlete in the world did not manage to reach 200 thousand euros per season, but even without that the numbers look very impressive (by biathlon standards, of course). In eight victorious races (88,000), Fourcade earned more than Andreas Birnbacher, who was fourth in our ranking. Almost 40 thousand euros went to the Frenchman for leadership during the season and the final BHG.
2. (Norway)
152,875 euros
Svensen won two times less than his main rival, which is why his total amount is inferior to Fourcade's. However, Emil's prize money for second (32000) and third places (22000), as well as relay races (16025) are more impressive.
3. (Germany)
Three podiums in Khanty-Mansiysk did not give Peiffer the third place in the overall World Cup, but they helped to get ahead of Birnbacher in the amount of prize money. It was the second places (40,000) that accounted for most of the fee.
4. (Germany)
The best season in the career of an experienced German was also the most profitable. In five competition months, Birnbacher earned over 80,000 euros, while a year earlier, after the first victory, this figure did not reach 25,000. Andi became one of the five athletes wearing the leader's red / yellow jersey, which earned an additional 2,325 euros ...
5. (France)
Fourcade Sr. is the only biathlete in the ranking who does not have personal victories, but the fifth position in the overall standings (10,000), four silver races (32,000) and successful relay races (13,000) helped Simon enter the top 5.
6. (Sweden)
And Karl Johan Bergman, despite two victories, earned 12 thousand less than the Frenchman. Success in the first sprints of the season (22,000) and the resulting leadership jerseys (2000) accounted for more than a third of the fee.
7. (Norway)
Tarjei's earnings have decreased by 63% compared to the triumphant post-Olympic season. Like a year ago, his place in the ranking of the richest corresponds to his position in the overall standings of the World Cup.
8. (Russia)
Of the Russians, Anton Shipulin earned the most. With only four podium races (30,000), he covered his amount for the 2010/2011 season, and in addition to personal successes, there were also excellent relay races (14,275).
9. (Russia)
Garanichev received almost half of the prize money for the excellent Holmenkollen races (22,000). Unlike the others, Eugene made his pocket even more at the IBU Cup (6000).
10. (Sweden)
But Lindstrom did not take advantage of the chance to enrich himself in the second most important cup tournament and received his prize money only for the World Cup races, in which, by the way, Garanichev surpassed Garanichev (44,275 against 40,000).
The largest amount will be received by 23-year-old German Laura Dahlmeier - 65 thousand euros. Among men, Frenchman Martin Fourcade took the first place in terms of remuneration - 45 thousand euros. Among the Russians, Anton Shipulin earned the most - 19.75 thousand euros.
ON THIS TOPIC
Recall that the prize money is received by biathletes who entered the top 15 in personal races or in the top six in relay races. Total russian team will receive 51 thousand euros, reports "Championship.com". Among them are Irina Starykh (8.25 thousand), Alexey Volkov (5.5 thousand), Anton Babikov and Maxim Tsvetkov (5 thousand euros each), Alexander Loginov, Olga Podchufarova and Tatyana Akimova (2.75 thousand), Evgeny Garanichev (1.5 thousand), Irina Uslugina (0.5 thousand).
Meanwhile russian biathlete Anton Shipulin briefly assessed the results of the world championship in Hochfilzen. On his Instagram page, he wrote: "The World Cup is over. I know, it did not meet the expectations of many ... But I really tried! Thank you all for your support. Or else there will be ...".

Recall that Anton Shipulin not only won in the male relay and won a bronze medal in the mixed relay, he twice became fourth in personal races - pursuit and mass start. At the same time, the Russian began the pursuit race from the 21st position, losing more than a minute to the leaders.
A member of the Russian national team, two-time world champion in summer biathlon, he retired as an athlete in 2013 and three years later found himself as head coach of the Korean national team, in which he trains both former Russians and Koreans. About how this story began, what is Korean biathlon and who gives money for it, about the chances at home Olympics and atavisms russian sports Andrey Prokunin told Match TV.
- In adulthood, you are driven by either medals or money. In the last two years of my career, I have made good money. There were sponsors, people who helped. But at some point I realized that even this does not motivate me further. Well, the leadership of the region hinted that it was necessary to finish. The region's share in financing my training was 30-40%, the rest I found myself. And, of course, there were many contradictions within: why should I spend my money, but at the same time advocate for the region?
- When and how did this story of moving to Korea begin for you?
- After graduation sports career I worked for three years in Moscow as a senior coach for men and juniors. But the ambitions of the capital's leadership in the field of biathlon were on a different plane than mine. I looked higher, I wanted more. And for this it was necessary to create the same situation as before the 2014 Games, when in fact an alternative team with a full set of conditions for preparation, servicers and personnel was staffed in Moscow. But, as it seems to me, there were no such conditions anywhere after Sochi. And just then the Korean federation approached Alexander Mikhailovich Kravtsov (president of the SBR - Match TV) and received a recommendation from him to pay attention to me. At a meeting in Moscow, I gave preliminary consent, then we met at a training camp in Zavodoukovsk. Then the Korean team had two Russian athletes, Anna Frolina and Alexander Starodubets, and the management realized that they needed an appropriate coach. This is how I ended up in Korea. Later, Timofey Lapshin and Yekaterina Avvakumova also arrived.
- Do I understand correctly that they went to Russia because the vice-president of the Korean Biathlon Federation lives here?
- Yes, but not only. The fact is that Korean salaries can interest our athletes. And the Koreans could not offer anything radically new to the Europeans. We, on the basis of Russian standards, get quite well. In my experience, a biathlon coach in our country earns 25-30 thousand rubles a month. In Korea, my salary is higher.
- When you agreed, did you have an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat Korean biathlon is?
- As an athlete, I have been to Korea twice. I saw the infrastructure and understood that the Korean side has potential. It is the matter of time. Even now, the guys who occupied 95-100th places sometimes enter the top 50, although before they could not even think about it. But we have not done anything fantastic during this time, and we would not have had time to do it. They just brought the Korean biathlon closer to the level of organization of the Russian biathlon. Only.
Budgets, fees, skis
- Say that you have only approached the level of Russia in terms of organization. Is there a lot missing?
- Of course. We are losing in logistics, in the availability of personnel, in medical support, and in equipment. But even under these conditions, if we project onto Lapshin and Frolina, we are competitive.
- What's the problem with skis - they come from the sponsor for free, don't they?
- The fact is that we have a different situation: we buy everything ourselves, the sponsors don’t give us anything for free. Let me give you an example. Last season we tested about 60 pairs of skis for Frolina. In this - 50 more. And they bought everything.
- What do you do with those pairs that did not fit?
- We sell to the same Russia. It's like a wheel, you just need to start it to rotate, and then it's already easier. But the initial impulse costs money.
- How are things going with servicers?
- This is a lot of work, as Mikhail Koloskov told you in an interview, and we still do not have enough people, although those who do exist are brilliant specialists.
- Have you been looking for mutual understanding with Korean athletes for a long time?
- The first year it was difficult to work, first of all it was to organize the training process. They already had an established perception of training as a unit of work. And suddenly I came, so clever, and I say that I need to do it differently. At first, this caused rejection, but after the athletes realized that they were starting to gain, and in everything and everywhere, the attitude changed. Although, of course, there are peculiarities of the mentality.
- What kind?
- They love to eat very much. And in training they could stop and have a snack. But that was at first, I had to drive them. Koreans are also more scrupulous in personal matters.
- In what sense?
- For example, with regard to medical control. Even the girls had an EKG big problembecause they didn't want to undress as much as they needed to. And in front of the doctor. And the coach could not be told about their physiological cycle. To date, these difficulties do not exist, but it was difficult. Now girls already see the doctor not as a man, but only as a doctor.
- What do Korean biathletes live on? Who pays them?
- They have very good salaries. In Korea, the club system, everything is on contracts. And every year the contracts are revised according to the results of the season. Moreover, the starting point is the Korean championship.
- That is, at the Korean championship, the athlete does not represent the region, but the club?
- How is the selection for the Korean national team organized?
- In September we are holding the Korean summer roller skating championship. As a result, adjustments are made in the composition of the main team, someone comes, someone leaves. Then we prepare further and before the start of the December stages of the World Cup we conduct a joint collection of two teams with control trainings. As a result, some go to the World Cup, others to the IBU Cup. If then someone fails at the World Cup, we rotate and call the best from the IBU Cup. We have a small quota: two people for men and three for women, but there is still rotation.
- Tell us how your training camps are organized and who pays for them?
- There is a budget that we cannot go beyond. Sometimes I apply for a collection and it is not approved due to financial reasons. Only two events are paid for by the state, and the rest is private funds attracted by the federation.
- What are the two events?
- The most expensive. The August camp in New Zealand, where we go out on the snow in the midlands, and the World Championships or the Olympics.
- Why New Zealand?
- I think this is the coolest place to remember after the summer what skiing is. Usually there are many people preparing there at an altitude of 1600 meters, but in 2017 there were fewer people than usual. But among those who visited were Nastya Kuzmina with her husband, Nikita Kryukov with her coach Yuri Kaminsky. Excellent working conditions, about 30 kilometers of various tracks, which are prepared at a good level. The shooting range leaves a little to be desired, but it is quite suitable for training.
Korean Frolina
- Earlier you said that the task of getting to the top is not yours, but in Oberhof Anna Frolina became the eighth in the pursuit, showing the sixth move at a distance, and this is already the top. Have the tasks changed?
- Speaking about Anna, of course, there are ambitions, especially on the eve of the Olympics. Everyone, I hope, still remembers Vancouver, where she, still under the name of Bulygin, was fourth, then she was a little short of a medal. Of course, this strongly motivates her, and my task here is not to interfere, but to help. Actually, one of the factors of Frolina's move to Korea was a great desire to return to sports, but she understood that it would be very difficult to penetrate through the sieve of Russian selections, especially since her age was, let's say, uncomfortable. We in Russia very often start from this - not from indicators and results, but from age. Eternal work for the future, especially at the end of the Olympic cycle. I myself, as an athlete, went through this. Anna wanted to return after giving birth, and just a Korean proposal appeared. An experienced biathlete, in my opinion, can have two motivations: medals and money. I think both factors worked in Anna's case.
- Frolina is an adult athlete with a serious character, how do you work with her, did it come to sparks?
- All good athletes with character, this is the norm. When Anna and I had certain problems, I told her: “Anya, I am a very patient person, because after school family life with my charming wife it is no longer possible to knock me through with something. "
- Why didn't she start in Ruhpolding?
- We missed the stage deliberately, everything was planned, not anyhow, but in advance. In Oberhof, she lost about twenty seconds by the move. It was a shame to miss Ruhpolding, being in such a form, but we understood that if we did not slow down her set, we could fly with the Olympics. The women's sprint race in Anterselva showed that we fell back to the speed level of December. I hope the persecution will be much easier for her. By the way, for Lapshin, the sprint race in Anterselva was the final stage of the training micro-gathering.
Koreets Lapshin
- In the summer, Timofey was seriously injured. He professional sportsman, on contract, preparing for the Olympics. Why the hell did he climb to play this football in the summer, where he tore his knee?
- Yes, it's unprofessional, and Timofey feels guilty. It was between the training camps, when they had been playing for about an hour. In his defense, I can say that, perhaps, the injury was provoked by some kind of knee overload during biathlon training. The same thing that now happened with Dzhikia, and earlier with Zobnin, who broke out of the blue.
- Judging by these names, are you a fan of Spartak?
- Yes, Timofey and I are both fans of red and white.
- To our great regret, I was not able to see it all with my own eyes and take part in what happened after the match with Terek.
- Returning to Lapshin's injury - you yourself had a similar one, wasn't it?
- I had a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, an internal meniscus. Cartilage sanitization was done, the joint capsule was sutured, in general - a full bouquet. In this situation the main task competently undergo rehabilitation and in no case be in a hurry. In Timothy's case, our current results show that we did the right thing. He wanted to start training with the team in July. It took a lot of effort to make him stay in the rehabilitation center, go through everything to the end. And already from the New Zealand training camp, he quietly got up on skis. We must pay tribute to the leadership of the Korean biathlon. The vice-president of the federation has been living in Moscow for a long time, and he is interested in this sport. By the way, the example of Viktor An worked, who, on the contrary, moved from Korea to Russia. Here, in general, an interesting parallel turns out. Ana was brought in after an injury, and Russia supported him in everything. And Timofey, although he was injured after the move, was also supported in everything, but already in Korea.
- What is the most specialized of the Olympic program for Lapshin?
– Individual race... It suits him more than a sprint, precisely for the implementation of medal plans. He is ready to go 20 kilometers at the level of 10-12th place, and with good shooting we have the right to count on a successful performance.
- There were rumors about Timofey that he had questions about McLaren's report, allegedly he passed a positive test on the Izhevsk rifle while he was running in Russia. What do you know about this?
- Only that neither Timofey, nor the Korean Biathlon Federation, nor the RBU received any official papers on this issue.
View from the outside- What needs to be changed in russian biathlon?
- I think the regional classification has outlived its usefulness for a long time. We need to try to switch to the club system. Not abruptly, interrupting everything at once, but smoothly, for example, allowing club teams to participate in domestic competitions along with regional ones. If this is done, then not only the status of starts will grow, but people will also appear who are ready to invest in biathlon as a product. And this product will be in demand within the country. After all, there are club systems in basketball, volleyball, football - so why not launch it in biathlon? The clubs will be able to invite coaches, maybe even from abroad. Competition will increase not only among athletes within the country, but also at the level of mentors. Having worked for three years in our biathlon, I understand that today the Russian Cup needs to be somehow changed in order to increase its value and prestige. Yes, according to its results, the leader is invited to the national team. But, as practice shows, at the exit, the person still comes back, he does not stay in the national team.
- What else?
- The fact is that the Russian Cup and the national team exist in parallel. The national team is not playing there now. When I was an athlete of the same Drachev and Maigurov, there were no problems to come to the Izhevsk rifle, show my level and thus give food for thought to the same coaches who could see the leaders with their own eyes, look at all the details of their progress, work at the turn. And today this is not the case. Yes, if the national championship is held in Khanty-Mansiysk, the Khanty-Mansi athletes take part in it, but this is not the case. The problem has existed for a long time, I'm sure I'm not the first to voice it. In my understanding, for one race a year, collectors should come to Russia to set an example for young people.
- Above you mentioned that you had to face the artificial squeezing of older athletes from the national team. Can you give an example?
- Of course. For example, Tcherezov, Yaroshenko were selected for the World Cup through a sieve, but they were placed in an uncomfortable group. The athlete performed poorly, and he was not given a second chance. This was present in my generation, and a little after. It seems to me that it is necessary to build on the result, and if there is one, then you need to give a normal one, good chance, not a chance.
- There is another artifact in our sport - the expert council, which approves the plan for the year. How do you feel about this?
- It's hard for me, I'm afraid to say the wrong words now. Yes, there are people who, both by their results and by their work, have earned respect. And they are, of course, used to being seen as leaders by everyone and taking their opinions into account. But time goes on, biathlon has changed a lot. The speed increased both on the track and at the turn. In my time, 25 seconds per line seemed incredible quick result, and now they shoot prone in 18-19 seconds! And they do it accurately, clearly, without any problems. If you do not take it for granted that time has gone ahead and people whose perception of biathlon is in the past, not everyone already understands it, then this will not lead to anything good. It's not a lack of respect. The point is the realization that every person, no matter how brilliant he is, has his own age in the profession.
But at the same time, one cannot but say that a very large number of coaches have worked with me as an athlete, including those who are now working with the Russian national team, and I am very grateful to them for their participation in my career. Many of them had a great influence on my development as a specialist. I would especially like to highlight Vadim Ivanovich Melikhov and Alexander Nikolaevich Kurakin, with whom I am still in contact.
As for planning. It is very difficult to plan for long periods of time. Training conditions may change, snow will fall, a person will get sick, the profile of the track will not allow doing something. And if I create a plan for a month or even more so for a year, I will immediately say that I am deceiving those for whom I am writing it. And in the same way, I cannot write a single training plan for all athletes. All people are different. But this is my personal point of view, based on my rather modest work experience, I do not impose it on anyone.
"In biathlon, as in sex"
- You have finished competing relatively recently, tell me, do you still understand modern biathlon as an athlete? For example, the rate of fire.
- As for the shooting, everything is in order. The Korean Lapshin makes the first shot, as a rule, in the sixth or seventh second. We try to do the prone in 18-19 seconds, and the stance in 16-17. In this regard, Timofey is among the leaders. It didn't work out that way with Frolina, so we took a different path, through the quality of shooting, not speed.
- And the speed ski run from the leaders, the same Byo, do you understand?
- You need to watch how these people train, what kind of training exercises they have, make videos and watch them. There are joint angles to hold, muscles to develop despite not being used. Body muscles that stabilize the entire upper body. And looking at the leaders, I understand why they are so fast. And when I ski myself, I try to repeat what they are doing in terms of movements, to pass through myself and then convey to the athletes. And most importantly: how am I former athlete I can show it, and then everyone will certainly understand.
- Should a high-class coach be a good-level athlete in the past?
- Definitely. Because, first of all, the coach needs to be able to show what he generally wants from the ward. What I liked about Pichler's work was the level of organization training process... In communication, Wolfgang said that the coach sometimes needs to stand on skis in order to clearly demonstrate what he wants, and lamented that because of his age, he could not do it very well.
- What is more important, shooting or a move?
- Shooting.
- Why?
- Well-known phrase, I first heard it at the concert of "Ural dumplings": "In biathlon, as in sex: if you don't hit, speed will not help." I believe now general level functional training is such that you need to shoot without misses and quickly.
Olympiad
- What are the pre-Olympic plans?
- After Anterselva we will still stay in Ridnaun, run two races, a sprint and an individual. Then we fly to Korea, a week will be spent on acclimatization, and there is not much time left, we will simply perform a certain standard set of workouts, which we always do before the competition.
- Does the home track factor in Pyeongchang take place?
- We have a complete plan of this route. Heights, descents, ascents and their length. The movements of all athletes are graphically depicted, how they are laid out according to the distance, where they go under left hand, where under the right, where diagonally under each step. The number of steps is outlined. Of course, all this can change due to slip conditions or errors at the turn, but in general, the track is decomposed, as they say, into parts.
- Did you train there in the summer?
- There are certain problems, but in principle the roller ski track is very good. As far as I know, this summer the leadership of the Korean federation invited the Russian national team to the training camp, and the owners were ready to pay for room and board. But for some reason, the RBU refused.
- How do you plan to organize the women's relay race at the Games?
- Our fourth girl is weaker than the others, and we can count on getting into the top ten only if our leaders take a minimum of additional rounds and don't go into circles. And then this girl, who, by the way, shoots well, will go to the third stage, and when passing from her to the fourth, the lag will not be so terrible.
- And if the whole team shoots to zero, what place can you count on?
- From the eighth to the twelfth, but I know the shooting range in Pyeongchang. There, none of the relay teams will shoot to zero.
- When does your contract with the Korean Federation end, and what's next?
- The contract is valid until the end of this season. After the Games, I will negotiate its extension. To date, the Korean side has not raised this issue yet, only general conversations.
- Do you have an inner feeling that this is a project for the 2018 Games and after them the agreements will not be extended?
- Knowing the ambitions of the leadership of the Korean Federation, I am sure that this is not only Pyeongchang, but also much further - to Beijing 2022 at least. They became interested, they felt what success is at international competitions... Many coaches are already coming up to greet not only me, but also their Korean colleagues. Know them by name.
In the 2015/16 biathlon World Cup, 67 races are planned. Another 11 will be held at the world championship in Holmenkollen. Each of these starts is paid by the IBU. the site tells how much shooting skiers earn on the track.
The budget for the current World Cup is less than four and a half million euros, or more precisely 4,246,500 euros. This money is distributed among all biathletes and biathletes for four months of performances. For comparison, the prize fund of the Women's Tennis Association tournament in Miami is $ 5.38 million, which, even with currency conversion, is still the most biathlon CM. But this is not what we are talking about now.
Individual victory in the World Cup and the world championship is valued most dearly. They give 13 thousand euros for it. The silver medalist gets 10 thousand, the bronze - 7. The top ten finishers are encouraged, for the tenth place the biathlete gets one thousand euros. Paying prize money to participants in individual races eats up more than half of the total prize pool.
Relays are paid separately. The first six teams are rewarded with amounts in Euro equivalent. For a victory, the four receives 20 thousand euros, the sixth place - 4 thousand. For 14 relays of the season, including mixed ones, IBU allocated 882 thousand euros.
Single mixed relay the markup is the same, only halved. The duo of winners are paid 10 thousand, the sixth place - 2.
Leaders of the season are additionally rewarded for colored bibs. Entering the track wearing a yellow leader's jersey overall standings is estimated at 750 euros in each race in the World Cup and 1000 euros in the world championship. Exit in a red T-shirt is paid in the same way.
At the end of the season, the most successful biathletes are additionally awarded. For winning the World Cup, the Bolshoi Khrustalny winners receive 28 thousand euros, the vice-champions of the CM - 23 thousand, the third-place winners - 18 thousand. As in the case of individual races, athletes from the top ten can count on these payments.
The IBU does not leave the national teams unattended either. It is not for nothing that the points in the Nations Cup are counted separately. At the end of the season, the winning national team will receive 44 thousand, the second place is paid 39 thousand, the third - 34 thousand euros. The last country that can count on monetary rewards is the 10th-ranked country. She receives 9 thousand euros.
Having learned the mechanism for calculating the prize money, you can find out how much the most successful biathletes of the last season, World Cup winners Daria Domracheva and Martin Fourcade earned.

So what? In boxing they lose their teeth in a fight, in a fight - ears, etc. The work of sissies in Formula 1 is very overestimated ...

DimonMcLaren , so tell me which physical load in the twisting of the steering wheel?) Is there something - a dryshch cannot turn the steering wheel?))
Boy, how old are you to write such nonsense? Don't compare your cozy sedan with a Formula 1 car. Just in case, there are no hydraulic boosters in Formula 1. And there is no automatic transmission. And there is no conder. And the suspension is like a stool. So try to "twist the steering wheel" and "depress the pedals" for 3 hours in a crazy rhythm, at a crazy speed, with a crazy concentration of attention to the narrow cockpit, into which you just won't be able to get in.
Formula 1 drivers lose up to 5 kg of weight per race.
