Ostersund 2016. Results of mixed relay /BIATHLON

      The national team of Norway which behind clear advantage won the mixed relay opening the program of the first World Cup stage in Ostersunda became the first winner of a season 2016/17 in the World Cup. Marte Olsbu and Fanny Hurn Birkland provided stay of the Scandinavian team in group of leaders, and the male part of team this time presented by two generations: Ule-Aynar Bjoerndalen and Johannes Bø – issued a victory with more than semi-minute advantage!

On same uncontested the second the place the team of Germany finished, and here in the acute fight for bronze Dominique Vindish was more successful finisher, than Anton Shipulin also brought to team of Italy the place on a podium!

For the national team of Ukraine the race turned out nervous and uneven. Anastasia Merkushina debuting in the mikstakh at the level of the World Cup in a lezhka didn't master wind and nervousness a little and after two spare cartridges was rolled away in the end of the second ten. Further the self-control didn't change Nastya and she could pass the baton the 14th.

        The first boundary became fatal and for the most titled participant of today's Ukrainian relay. Juliya Jima from eight shots closed only three targets and after two circles of a penalty left the 20th again. And again, as if under a carbon paper, heroic efforts to distances and ideal work on a rack output the command for the 13th position.

The third stage, by recognition of the president of Federation of biathlon of Ukraine Vladimir Brynzak, caused the greatest fears. But Artem Pryma carried out the piece greatly, having limited to only one substitute boss, having returned team to fight for ten the strongest. And Dmitry Pidruchnyi brought this fight to the 10th final place though it was noticeable by the course of a stage that the captain of men's team is still far from the optimum standards. However, the same Vladimir Brynzak expected possible difficulties in connection with acclimatization after flight from Canada where the male part of team carried out final early collecting.

       In general, the mixed relay once again confirmed that this type of the program, unfortunately, isn't crown for our national team that doesn't cancel need to break such unsuccessful tendency in the future. For now we congratulate athletes and fans on long-awaited start of a season in the World Cup! Also we will believe in more successful continuation.
