Russian biathlonist She told, at the expense of which he managed to win the Christmas race together with Catherine Jurlov, and promised in the new year to please the fans with new victories.
Alexander Levit
Act on this arena, with such a huge number of spectators - just great, - says Anton. "I am very pleased with the race, very happy victory." Everything went just super, we are with Katya - Well done!
It would not be well done: you fled today and fired just great.
Today I am actually very pleased with my shooting - she shot almost a hundred percent. At the last stage of the World Cup at the turns, not all was obtained. But on the collection, I worked with weapons and, in principle, I probably corrected a lot. And with running ... in the second part of the competition, in the pursuit race, it was better fond than in the mass start. Such a feeling was that a couple of circles could still run. In the last round, at first saved power for the finish struggle. But when I saw that I was going alone, relaxed and just calmly finished.
From the outside it seemed that you were generally calm enough.
I myself really liked today, that I managed to completely abstract from the external situation, fully focused on the race, fully focused on shooting. It pleased me. It is necessary to remember this moment and use it in competitions. Because today everything turned out great: there were only me, a rifle and a target.
Katia Yurlova, who only a week ago, he learned about what he would perform in Gelsenkirchene, said that the victory in the Christmas race was real fiction that she could not imagine not only what would win, but what will just get here? Could you?
Could - what? - Laughs Anton. - What will I act in Gelsenkirchen or won? What I will act - as I could: I received an invitation to this race for a long time, still at the end of summer. And in principle, tuned in advance, I have long wanted to participate in this show race with the largest number of spectators in biathlon. As for the victory ... Let's say this: I really wanted to win.
Won. And how will you consider this victory? How is the successful finish of the outgoing year, or as a successful start of the year 2013?
I would, of course, wanted to enroll her as the start of 2013. But today, alas, only on December 29th. So, by justice, this victory should be considered the result of the outgoing year. I think it's very good that we have finished the year on such a high note. I hope that from the first races of the New Year, let's start delight victories, and yourself, and our fans.
Christmas race is, on the one hand, show. But, on the other hand, it is always collecting very decent composition, and it takes only once a year - that is, where more often than the stages of the World Cup. Win it, probably, would you like more? Moreover, before you, Russians won just twice here?
You know, I want to win every race, to start the start. Another thing is that on all kinds of show races I relax, they are much easier for them than at the World Cup stages. It would be necessary to learn from the official starts to treat races comic, positively, precisely as to the show - and then, I think it will get better.
And really learn this?
I will try. And I hope that I will achieve this.
The winners of the Christmas race traditionally invite it to her next year. Come?
If you invite - I will certainly come. And I can say that we will prepare for the Christmas race 2013 in full and try to repeat today's success - so that we are invited here again.
The best in 2017. As "Kalashnikov" arms Russian biathletes
"Match TV" went to the Kalashnikov concern plant to learn all about the biathlon armament race.
We have a competitor in biathlon only one, the German company Anschutz, - explains the "Match TV" head of sports projects of the Kalashnikov concern, three-time world champion and winner Olympic Games Ivan Vosov. - This caliber is 5.6 - "Melkashka" - very capricious. To achieve high records (the smaller the distance between the points of entering the target, the higher the part - the "match TV") is difficult here. Minus temperatures, snow and high humidity that happen in competitions, greatly complicate the life of designers, cartridges and weapons. The possession of this technique for the production of biathlon rifles with a small caliber is considered to be a higher level pilot. Historically, there is only two companies engaged in weapons in Biathlon: Kalashnikov Concern (former Izhmash) and Anschutz. Other rifles at the World Cup stages you will not meet.
At the World Championships in Hochfilzen Rifle, Izhmash chose Anton Bubikov, Olga Podchufarov, Evgeny Garanichev and Matvey Eliseev. The rest, including the leader of our team Anton Schipulin, prefer to shoot from Anschutz. The sims himself, who is now trying to change the attitude towards Izhevsk rifles, at one time also passed to German weapons.
High demand for Anschutz among the biathlon elite existed not always. Still in zero three-time olympic champion Kati Wilhelm shot from Izhevsk weapons, and not from the native German rifle. How and why such a skew occurred - they understand the concern "Kalashnikov".
In the advanced composition of the Russian national team, the ratio of our and German rifles - 50 to 50. If foreign athletes are shooting from Izhevsk weapons, then these are representatives of the countries of the neighboring countries. But this is not a quality assessment. Our laws are very harsh, many restrictions that make it difficult to quickly communicate, service, repair and acquisition, "says. - In addition, we have no most advantageous location. We are closer to the Urals, and Anschutz - in the center of Europe, not far from Munich. Therefore, athletes are easier to get to them. For quality, we have many positive moments.
Why it all started
For the first time, the issue of biathlon weapons took up in the mid-fifties of the last century. Previously, this sport was considered military-applied and developed entitled "Patrol Race". In addition to weapons, athletes had to carry bags with sand on themselves. They ran with Mosina rifles and precisely they were adapted for biathlon. "Bi-7.62" brought the first USSR national team olympic medal - In 1960, Alexander Privalov won the Bronze Award on Games in Skvo-Velley.
Now from such a shot, and all the audience will scatter. And then there was an indescribable spectacle to which the people love to walk, "recalls the designer Vladimir Susloparov. - After the shooter shot, the arrows rolled back with all the ammunition. And if the fire has freezed the fire, then you had to shoot skis. Otherwise you will leave and you will have to run back to manufacture.
In the early 70s, the rifle caliber was decided to reduce. So "Bi-6.5" and "Bill-6.5" appeared, whose returns were three times less than that of the predecessor. Stability increased, and return the rifle after a shot to the target area it became easier. She enjoyed in great demand, including abroad, and was considered the best in the world. Every year in June, representatives of the USSR-Tikhonov team, Ushakov, Elizarov came for a month to Izhevsk for a new weapon.
After the demonstration of the speeches of biathlonists, our bureau chief said: "Such well-deserved people and protrude with the rifles of the last century. What are we sitting here? Let's make something for them in an initiative order. " And from "Something" turned out a rifle with a quick recharge, which AnSchutz today uses, "says Suslaparov. - Today it's a shame to listen to when they say that it is necessary to make a recharge, like the Germans. Few people know that she was already constructed by us more than 20 years ago.
With "Bi-5", Soviet athletes took all biathlon gold Olympiad in Innsbruck in 1976 - Nikolay Kruglov won an individual, and then together with Tikhonov, Bosakov and Elizarov won the relay. But the era of combat weapons in Biathlon approached the end.
The superiority of the Soviet biathlonists was unconditional, others did not even have to dream, "explains Suslaparov. - If you remember, then the five competitors are not scored. therefore International Soyuz Biathlonists, mainly from the submission of Germans, made a proposal to move to the mass cartridge of the caliber of 5.6 - the cartridge of the side fire. Justified the fact that it's time to finish developing the militaristic sport. They spoke, it will increase the number of participants. So, in principle, and happened. On combat rifles on safety, the distance of the defeat of 5 kilometers. Where do you find such territories in Europe? If in Germany to shoot such a weapon, then in Austria or Italy someone can be shot. We only had three shooting in Izhevsk, and in Germany as much on the whole country.
When Anshutz overtook "Izhmash"
New rifles on "Izhmash" constructed quickly. Already a year after the transition to the petty-caliber weapon, the Biathlon-7 rifle was created with locking the shutter in the vertical plane, and in the 78th biathlon-7-2, with a crystal-connecting locking of Gennady Nikonov's mockup.
Tikhonov then came to us, saw this rifle and said that he would not give anyone to anyone, "says Susloparov. - She even half of the factory tests at that time did not pass. Alexander Ivanovich says: "I take my responsibility. For my part there will be no complaints. " He has such an influence on people, it is impossible to refuse. I had to give our chief designer to give a rifle, one-sole, without testing. As a result, he went with her at the Olympics in Lake Placid and won there gold medal. Serial production "Biathlon-7-2" began after the Games. The crank-connecting mechanism is on the century. This rifle can work almost without servicing for 25-30 years.
10 years in Izhevsk rifle did not have any competitors. Dieter Antshuts understood that his firm loses this race of biathlon weapons, but something they could offer Izhmash. From the merger, it would be possible to appear the perfect rifle for biathlon.
In the 80s, he came to us twice for negotiations. There should have been a single rifle, which Dieter called "Anschutz-Izhmash" or "Izhmash-Anschutz". Choose the name was our right. He said that they would make a tree for weapons, which we still have a problem. They also had a better sighting mechanisms. But they do not make them themselves, but order in specialized firms. We have all the sights are made on the same equipment, from this they are less accurate. Plus, the Germans were taken for all the equipment - belts and so on. But we denied them twice, "Susloparov says.
- Why?
Pride took over the leadership. It was the only rifle that we sold for export. To lose her did not dare. Time passed, and we were not deed. If then they agreed, then maybe everyone would be in winning.
- And you did not try to lure?
This in principle was impossible. The first time I left abroad in the 96th, at the invitation of Tikhonov. And before that, only one person went abroad. He was checked for years, he was a member of the party. Many nuances. Therefore, I can't even imagine how it was possible to negotiate with someone.
- Antschutz representatives came to Izhevsk, you could talk to them here.
This is only at first glance. In fact, we are all who at the factory since the 70s, almost all their lives were held here. If I came to the plant in the morning, I could not exit from there during the day. There was no special opportunity to convey something. Yes, and there were no thoughts.
- What momet Anschutz went ahead?
In the 90s there was a decline in the entire industry in the country, including in our. Allowed the mechanisms of machines for forging of trunks. Unfortunately, they were not our production, but Austrian. There were several dies of the survivability and then could produce only products of unsportsmanship. For biathlon, the accuracy of the trunks should be higher than that of the domestic machine.
How do biathlon rifles
Per last years The plant has changed B. best side And still changing. Modern equipment purchased, new workshops are built and the production of biathlon rifles, like all the products of the concern, has laid another life. Izhevsk weapons still have several advantages over German competitor. To get to the plant, you need to go through several points of inspection. And even on the territory it is necessary to pass through the framework of metal detectors, moving from one workshop to another.
- How many permissions can you collect biathlon rifles?
They don't collect such a shift, "says the master of the concern" Kalashnikov ". - For a month about 10 rifles. Immediately you need to weigh, check that it corresponds to the necessary parameters.
The assembly is made with the cartridges. The sleeves should easily and carelessly fly out of the shutter. This is one of the main advantages of the modern Izhevsk biathlon rifle.
We easily deal with and cleaned the shutter, "explains Ivan Vosov. - Anschutz shutter to disassemble much more difficult. It is not necessary to collect it from the first time, a certain skill is needed. In Germans, if you have not opened the shutter to the end, the sleeve may not jump out. Maybe they saw in competitions when the athlete stands and picks up in a rifle on the shooting range to throw the stuck sleeve. In Izhevsk, this is excluded. She always immediately flies out. Devices of shutters from our rifles are different. Anschutz bats direct and there is a small bend - weakness. With long work, it may be alleged. There have been such cases in competitions when the battlement broke and the rifle stopped shooting. We can not have such a thing.
Anschutz rifles and izhmash are much different in price. German weapons cost from 3500 euros, Russian - from 55 thousand rubles. But individuals can not buy Izhevsk rifle, only sports schools.
Our rifle is an order of magnitude cheaper and maintained, "explains the sims. - She is easier. Even in the TP, it is written that it can be quietly disassembled and raised back. And not so that it breaks and you need to go somewhere in the warranty center. We collaborated with the Norwegian firm Larsen Biathlon. They annually concluded a contract for 300-400 rifles, which were mainly intended for children's biathlon. Therefore, in Norwegian sports clubs There are a lot of our weapons. I can not argue, but heard that when the Norwegians fall into the national team, they force them to go to Anschutz. Perhaps this is due to the fact that it is more convenient to buy it, find a service and shoot the trunk. Now because of the sanctions, this cooperation has suspended. But Larsen is interesting. He has a desire to come here.
Dropped the collected rifles is made on the concern's test station. Here weapons are tested not only in the traditional dash, but also in a special freezer. Temperature in such a cell is minus twenty degrees. This is a minimum indicator at which biathlon competition is allowed. The rifle at such a temperature should not give off.
The shooter enters the trunk and cartridges to the camera, which are kept within an hour, - explains the head of the test station of the Kalashnikov Concern Stanislav Shadrin. - An hour later, the arrows hangs the card on the target, which stands at a distance of 50 meters (on the street), enshrines the trunk for tees and makes five targeting shots. Between the series goes the redest for 10 minutes. That is, the time for which biathletes theoretically run away the distance and return to the fire line again. After the shooting, the barrel is removed, attributed to the cleaning room, where it is withstanding at a plus of 45 degrees and goes to the warehouse.
At the competitions of IBU judges, only two indicators are interested. The weight of the rifle should be at least 3.5 kilograms without shops, and the trigger must withstand the weight of 500 grams weighing. If the weapon is not tested, it is not allowed to start.
Much more demands for rifles at the Union of Biathlonists of Russia, with which the concern cooperates several years. For the national team, trunks with the best characteristics are selected. For example, the part of the rifles should be up to 10 millimeters. For the selection of rifles for the Ramp leaves not one month.
Now they often say that Anschutz is better incapacity. If you want to choose a good rifle, then you need time here, "says Ivan. - The Germans are also sitting in the selection. 99 percent of our athletes who acquire Anshutz weapons in their store, change trunks, pick up. Therefore, the fact that Izhevsk rifles worse in adversity is not quite true.
Why athletes choose anshutz
Anschutz host trump card - affordable rifle maintenance. The head of the company Dieter Andutz organized a mobile service service. A specially equipped bus comes to competitions that are under the auspices of IBU. This bus is held repair work any level of complexity. In Russia, the "rules of turnover of weapons" do not allow repair outside the manufacturer's enterprise.
Previously, the man who watched rifles was sent from the factory. Often, these functions performed Vladimir Fedorovich Susloparov, then another master - Alexander Afanasyevich Ponamarev. Last time in the teams there are guys gunsmiths, who are constantly being with them. They can quickly provide service in place. In this regard, the athletes are insured - Ivan John explains.
- What cartridges do our athletes shoot?
Our weapon for a long time It was done under our cartridge - "Olympus". Shot from it. If you take a percentage, most biathletes of the whole world shoot from Lapua. So that our athletes can also shoot from Lapua, we have changed something in the trunk. Now the Finnish cartridge also gives good part.
- What is ANSCHUTZ better in technical terms?
It is externally more interesting all sorts of body kit. These are adjustable flies, sights. Here you can collect a more elegant rifle. But in this regard, this is also working.
- How can you cut the time that biathletes spend at the turn?
This is not an automatic. Time on a shooting range by 90 percent depends on the athlete itself. The main thing where you can play - this is the gap from the moment when the biathlete is touched by the rug skis to the first shot. Some first shots are produced on the 15th second, others are already on the 10th. That is, the whole five seconds are played off. This is very big reserve. Reducing the time between shots - fraught with misses. As for the mechanics of the shutter movement, yes - the more easier the shutter goes, the less you turn on the muscles to recharge. If you do it easily, then the speed is higher. These are already engaged in the guys who work in a team. They make sure the shutter move as much as possible so that the cartridge is easily delivered.
- What is the job now?
Our recharge system is recognized as the best in the world. Even Anschutz wanted to buy it. Here the most important thing is to search the geometry of the trunk. To find such that it can give high accuracy when shooting in a minus temperature. In research plan work is carried out constantly.
- Why Anton Shipulin shoots from Anschutz?
In our hard times, the quality thread was lost. There were certain difficulties with the same communication. It was easier to get to Germany to buy a rifle, pick up the trunk and shoot the cartridges. Sipulin at that time rose on skis and picked up Anshutz. And then retrain when you are at such a high level, not everyone has a desire. Here everything is purely individually. For example, Garanichev says he tried a German rifle, and he did not like it.

Dragons, snow leopards, mountain goats and other drawings that present biathlon heroes.
Strict option from biathlon legend - Emil Hegela Svensen. Which is not excluded, starts last season in his career.
Perhaps the most original rifle design - Anton Shipulin And his enchanted weapon with a dragon. The leader of the Russian national team explained: "The idea is such that during the manufacture I hold the dragon for the throat. I hold gently, inventing a little bit. "
Glossy-blue rifle Kaisa Mäkyaryainen. The two-time winner of the World Cup opened the concept: "I wanted something new after several seasons with a gold butt. It turned out quite in Finnish, I like it! ".
Weapons of silver medalist games in Sochi Celleina Gasparin: "My rifle is a fire!". Rate the game of colors from the base to the go.
Selina's younger sisters also approached the design with fiction.
Eliza: "I love the mountains. And the horns of a mountain goat is a reminder of the house. This is a symbol of our town and impersonation of power. "
Aita:"On the bed of my rifle depicted a snow leopard. Fast and strong - such and there should be a biathlete. "
White color is gaining popularity. Fashion went, it seems, from Tarrya Bo a few years ago. This season with a snow-white weapon will be the leader of the Czech team, a three-time winner of the games in Sochi Ondřei Murez.
And one of the most recognizable biathletes of the world, married Italian Dorothea Virr., Saying goodbye to the off-season with a black rifle.
Creative OT olympic championships Alexey Volkov - Lodge in Krapinka (or polka dot).
Olympic champion Anton Shipulin arrived in Yekaterinburg three weeks before the start of the Biathlon World Cup start in Sweden. Already today, Anton will go to Tyumen to continue the preparation. Ekaterinburg Anton led a noble goal - his charity foundation.
I can not ask about new season. November 29th begins the Biathlon World Cup. Last year you became the second. Ready this time to become a champion?
I trained a lot. He spent great work on errors. It should give a result.
- Which mistakes?
- Last season it was possible to be better in shooting. We worked with the coach on the technique, a little changed it in breathing and in motion. I strive to ideal. If we talk about forecasts for the season, I do not know if my rivals are ready, but I did everything possible and I will try. I hope everything will work out, as I conceived.
- What will happen in the documentary movie?
- You need to ask the authors. We shot a lot of material when I was in Yakutia. There will be a big interview, a lot of video from the fees, as I train, as I communicate.
- Have you really participated in the Yakut rite?
- These are already journalists so unwound. In fact, I traveled to the village of Khatystyr to communicate with the locals. They met me so well! I think there was no clarification there. Just the guys with the guys drove a dance. It was entertainment, we were so warmed up. I was very pleased to take part in their folk dance.
- You have a very unusual new rifle.
"For my reasons, I made a dragon and painted it in such a color. I will not tell what it means. I am a superstitious man, for me it is important.
- It's true that you do not give anyone to touch her?
- During the season - yes. Now, maybe still allow. But when the season begins, ready to bite your hand.
You have been charity for five years. Then, then in. Why do you need this? What biathlete Anton Shipulin differs from other benefactors?
- Now I have popularity. I use her so that we can make as much good things as possible. I look into the guys who we help, and see that they really rejoice. This is the best motivation for me. When I was invited to the foundation, I was only 23 years old. After I visited the orphanage, I spoke with the children, I saw their life situation, I wanted to change something. People can actually have a lot. But most sit and do nothing. I want to show my example that together we can achieve more.
- How difficult is it to collect money? People willingly donate in your foundation?
- Money is very difficult to collect. Especially now, in such an unstable situation. Many sponsors begin to refuse for obvious reasons. Of course, there are good people who are glad to help. But the majority, to whom we appeal to and who have funds, do not want to help us, causing it with their own causes. But we still try. Just with the help of the media attract as many people as possible. We collect money not for yourself. I myself add to the foundation every month from my pocket. You can not imagine how often we are treated for help! Per month comes more than 30 requests. I am very upset that we do not have the opportunity to help everyone.

- You are also addressed only by sports topics?
- No, we are treated with various issues, but we chose our direction. To not spray. The fund helps children who want to play sports, but they have no opportunity. The Fund has a charter, which is registered in the Ministry of Justice, and from this charter we cannot deviate. Therefore, we work in our framework. Our main goal is to drag children to your side. At the age, until consciousness was finally formed, you can pick up the guys - and drag from beer and cigarettes to the side healthy image Life where they are waiting for a good future.
