Anterselva will become the first resort to host the sixth edition of the World Cup?

Today missing 10 days tains the stage of the World Cup in Antholz that, in this 2016, could become the first resort & agrave; in the history of the biathlon to accommodate six different editions of the World Cup in September in the case is successful the bid launched for 2020.

Is not serious; still clear the full scope of the enemy's location in South Tyrol, but certainly compete for the otter 'event also Oberhof (Germany) and Pokljuka (Slovenia). It could also add & nbsp; Nove Mesto na Morave (Czech Republic), while not & egrave; except it can also submit a Russian plant. Whatever the future, we look at what were the events pi & ugrave; significant of the five events held in South Tyrol, the first three of which are reserved exclusively for men. In 1975 there is a momentous event that is still unique in the history of the biathlon. February 16, Henrik Fl & ouml; jt, Simo Halonen, and Heikki Juhani Suutarinen Ikola lead the Finnish relay team to conquer the world championship gold. The Nordic quartet manages to stop a series of seven consecutive wins in the World Cup and Olympics dell''Unione Soviet giving Finland a medal metal pi & ugrave; prized in a main event for the first time ever. Sar & agrave; Also the 'last Because & egrave; the movement has more sinivalkoinen & ugrave; He excelled in a team trials in the 41 years that followed, and indeed, considering the derelict state prevailing biathlon Finnish male, one wonders when (and if) the 'event will come & agrave; replicated. In 1976 the situation & egrave; Because really curious & eacute; the World & egrave; It composed of a single race. This is the sprint, all''epoca not yet included in the Olympic program. Just this competition & egrave; Because very significant & eacute; biathlon decided to inaugurate the policy of organizing the world championship trials in the same Winter Olympics, but unrelated to them, for the format that are not currently in the schedule to five circles. The 'event will occur & agrave; in the years '90 for testing of patrols (1992, 1994, 1998) and the' tracking (1998), as well as & eacute; tains all of the twenty-first century for the mass start (2002) and later for the medley relay (2010). For the record January 31, 1976, just before dell''inizio Games in Innsbruck, the medal 'World Championship of sprint gold was won by the Soviet Aleksander Tikhonov before compatriots Aleksander Elizarov and Nikolay Kruglov Sr. & Nbsp; The '1983 edition closes ideally un''epoca. February 23, Frank Ullrich is imposed nell''individuale winning the fifth world title and win number 17 in his career (in un''epoca where the World Cup there were a dozen trials in winter). That won the Powder in Anterselva will & agrave; Also the 'last statement of the phenomenal German dell''Est. In fact, cross-country skiing and biathlon are going on stage the revolution represented by the new skating technique, well-pi & ugrave; profitable than that used up to that time (now known as classical technique). When skating takes over, Ullrich - one of the most & ugrave; great biathletes of all times - no one will know & agrave; maintain its supremacy and not salir & agrave; never again & ugrave; on the step pi & ugrave; the podium, walked to the 'last time just in South Tyrol. & Nbsp; On the contrary the '1995 edition is ideally the principle of a historical phase Since & eacute; World sanction those permanently 'entry of France into the category of the superpowers of the biathlon. Before that the trans movement had never won a world success. A fast break with un''autentica Because binge & eacute; 21 years ago the French make their three medals' individual gold four available! In the men's Patrice Bailly-Salins excels in sprinting, that among women was won by Anne Briand. Corinne Niogret also imposes nell''individuale. Since then France has more & ugrave; stopped winning, producing a continuous rhythm top-level athletes and authentic stars. & Nbsp; Just one of them announces, surprisingly, the end of his splendid career nell''edizione 2007, at the same time, is also the 'supernova Magdalena Neuner. We leave for & ograve; Raphael Poir & eacute; e. On 6 February 2007 rises again from a difficult period and won the medal 'gold in the 20 km race at the end of which states that, by the & Igrave; a few weeks, appender & agrave; skiing and rifle on the nail. The 'Ad & egrave; a bolt from the blue Since & eacute; the trans has not yet turned 33 and has never excelled at the Olympic Games. Everyone was convinced it would continue until 2010 for groped the 'assault on the throne in Five circles instead spiazz & ograve; fans by shutting still all''apice of its forces. Those World Cup 2007 & ograve; are remembered for the 'advent of Neuner who, a few days before her 20th birthday, won two medals' gold (sprint and pursuit), then add to the prize list also a third, that of the relay. & Egrave; the 'beginning of a cyclone that travolger & agrave; biathlon women, who lived in those years its moment of maximum splendor, to a shine. & Nbsp; In short, regardless of the historical moment every World in Antholz gave a unique and special event. Sar & agrave; cos & Igrave; Also in un''eventuale edition 2020?
