Biathlonists biography of athletes

Johannes Bue already overshadowed Bjorndalen and Fourcade? Share comments of different athletes, different eras. But absolutely everything is legends. It's time to decide who is the best.

In Oberhof, the world championship has just ended - Biathlon. In the men's tournament, the Norwegian Johannes Boy reigned. Despite the fact that he still could not win all personal races, it is difficult to stay away from the achievements of the younger Boe-now his era. But is he the best biathlete in history? Johannes is hitting the number of awards, but now there are seven disciplines in the world championships in which you can participate, at the Olympiads - six, and the World Cup has only been invented at the end of X.

And before there were only two disciplines, and some biathletes managed to become multiple champions. You can compare athletes from different eras in only one way. Biathlonists are distributed in places in the rating in online mode in accordance with the votes of users. Important: the functionality of the "rating" is available only in the usual version of the "championship".

Rating: Who is the best biathlete in history? At the age of 40, he was elected to the Norway national team at the Sochi Olympics and won two gold - in a sprint and a mixed relay. For him, these gold awards from the Olympic Games became the seventh and eighth in his career. At the world championships - 20 gold medals. He fought with worthy rivals, which he sometimes lost, but continued to set more and more records.

The only athlete who won the Great Crystal Globe seven times. Seven times in a row! No one in history was even close to this. Fourcade simply dominated the world biathlon: he fled amazingly quickly, shot incredibly accurately and very often in contact races, having a huge advantage over the rivals, welcomed the fans from leaving the last shooting. Five -time Olympic champion, multiple champion of the world.

Most of his titles won in personal races. He completed his career at 32, ruled the world biathlon for ten years. Poire won the World Cup four times, eight times became the world champion, but at the Olympics he could not get to gold. However, this does not cancel the fact that Rafael was a real artist in the world biathlon, won beautifully and boldly acted. In his final race in his career, in different ways, he lost to his main opponent, and then did not go to the finals of the season in Khanty-Mansiysk, where he was supposed to become a five-time owner of the World Cup.

An outstanding athlete, who became a four -time Olympic champion, a seven -time world champion, a two -time owner of the World Cup. One of the first is included in the Glory Hall of the International Union of Biathlonists. Perhaps Sven Fisher became even a little cooler because of the surname-at least in ski races, even in biathlon, even in the chess Fisher-a synonymous champion.

It was for what. Four gold medals at four Olympiads, even if they were all conquered in relay races. In general, Tikhonov was supposed to become a skier, and in Biathlon he accidentally, deciding to recover from injury to the assembly with biathletes. As a result, the world biathlon received a superstar for a decade. And even more. He has a phenomenal speed, surprisingly fast shooting, scientists argue about his incredible abilities, and heiters only say one thing - an asthmatic.

But no asthma medicines will help to run like that and shoot like that. Johannes Boe is the king of modern biathlon. And if it remains until the Olympics, has every chance to break the records of Ule-Einar Bjurndalen by the amount of gold. Svender always performed at the highest level, earned a lot of titles, won everything that is possible. But this wonderful biathlonist is often remembered not for endless achievements, but for Fale in the relay at the Olympics in Sochi, when he missed a huge advantage and left Norway without medals.

Rickko Gross won gold awards at four Olympiads - all in relay. Unlike the Soviet biathlete Alexander Tikhonov, who won at four Olympiads in a row, Gross took four gold at five games, and at another Olympiad as part of the relay was the second! In addition, Gross has several more personal Olympic awards and nine victories at the world championships. One of the most cool “team” players in the history of biathlon.

After winning the year, the biathlete from the GDR then raised a large crystal globe over his head. Ulrich at two Olympiads won four medals, including gold in a personal race. At the world championships in his asset are nine victories. Ulrich was one of the fastest biathletes of his generation, when everyone ran only a classic.
