Al l & agrave; the medley relay on Sunday, authentic dell''inverno prologue, in exactly seven days (at 17.15 on 4 December) will begin & agrave; the 28th World Cup biathlon women. As for men, 2014 - '' 15 could take on the contours of historic vintage Since & eacute; Darya Domracheva & egrave; vying to enter definitively among the most & ugrave; greatest of all time. & nbsp; & nbsp;

If the Belarusian gi & agrave; winner of three Olympic gold medals and two world medals, were able to get their hands on the World Cup absolute complement the prestigious Triple Crown becoming the fifth athlete in the history of biathlon women to achieve this goal.
Actually & agrave; & Egrave; striking that the twenty-eight Minsk has not yet won the Crystal Ball. Two years ago, fresh from a season in which he set the record for points for the second in the overall standings, Dasha appeared destined to inherit from Magdalena Neuner the role of mistress of the circuit.
But in 2012 - '' 13 Darya could not anything in front of a Tora Berger in a state of grace, and in 2013 - '' 14, between Olympic competitions worthless for the World Cup and some step-load too, non & egrave; gone beyond the third.
Despite the defeats of the past two years, for the third consecutive winter Domracheva comes at the start of the season in the role of big favorite to win the crystal ball. In Britain they say "third time lucky", un''espressione translated as "the third time & egrave; that good."
Who knows & agrave; if you will & agrave; really well & igrave; for the one who in February & egrave; became the first woman to be named a "Hero of Belarus", or to receive more & ugrave; highest honorary title of the former Soviet republic assigned to only 11 people since its inception dellla.
Winning the World Cup & egrave; the 'objective stated by the head coach Adrian Tsybulsky who explained how the' hiring of coach Alfred Eder replacing Klaus Siebert is also designed to allow Domracheva to make the final leap in quality & agrave; shooting, where the date & egrave; always lacked consistency.
The 'half pi & ugrave; Darya is credited with Kaisa M & auml; k & auml; r & auml; inen, meanwhile won by 2 Crystal Balls (2010 - '' 11 and in fact in 2013 - '' 14). The Finnish gi & agrave; explained not want to abdicate in the race for the overall standings despite the 'highlight of the season is represented by the World Kontiolahti house.
The thirty-one to Ristij & auml; rvi is the 'only athlete capable of competing on equal terms with Domracheva the heading cross-country skiing, in which, however, does not consider itself to have expressed the most of the last year, but the' main unknown concerns the ability & agrave ; to repeat that 91% to the ground for her stellar real key to conquer's Last World Cup.
The role of the third force must be entrusted to Gabriela Soukalová, & more ugrave; 3 years younger than Domracheva and almost 7 springs with respect to M & auml; k & auml; r & auml; inen. Nell''ultimo two years is the Czech & egrave; proved to be a shooter better than the other two athletes, particularly in polygons standing where he has an excellent 84% (in spite of some people luminaries during the Games in Sochi called it "standing & egrave; one of the shooters more & ugrave, disastrous circuit" ).
In view of the young age & agrave; & Egrave; likely to think that the twenty-five Moravian preparatasi for the second consecutive year with the men's team, may have room for improvement on the slopes and close to the level of Domracheva and M & auml; k & auml; r & auml; inen. In addition, to make the final leap of quality & agrave ;, it would be important to be able to break down the execution time at the shooting range anti-diluvian than those required by the modern biathlon without going to the expense of accuracy.
Actually & agrave; the 'unknown pi & ugrave; great for Soukalova, become un''autentica star in the Czech Republic thanks to its sporting successes united to his physical appearance, concerns the 'integrity & agrave; physics because over the years & egrave; demonstrated by the athlete rather poor health. If you'll want & agrave; be competitive for the general classification, will & agrave; therefore essential to prevent diseases.
With the withdrawal of Tora Berger at the starting blocks is difficult to find other credible candidates for the crystal ball even if a slight chance should be given to their un''atleta Norwegian or Tiril Eckhoff. The twenty-four Trondheim & egrave; grown exponentially shots nell''ultimo three years and in his case a further improvement in the precision standing would project automatically among the contenders to win the World Cup.
Moreover quotes Eckhoff could go up if you think about how the last three crystal balls seasons post-Olympic (Martina Glagow 2003 Andrea Henkel 2007 Kaisa M & auml; k & auml; r & auml; inen 2011) have gone to athletes who had closed the '' previous winter outside the top six in the overall standings and never in his career had come among the top four.
Under "outsiders" as pi & ugrave; would be credited to un''altra Norwegian Synn & ø I Solemdal. Contemporary of Soukalova and more than a year & ugrave; expert than Eckhoff, in 2013 - '' 14 has dramatically raised their rate and, until & eacute; & Egrave; remained healthy, gave an average-points to absolute excellence. If mononucleosis where & egrave; was hit last winter did not leave a legacy in athletic training, then there will be & agrave; Solemdal surprising to see the list of the top five overall.
Rather difficult to think of un''Anastasiya Kuzmina able to fight for the World Cup. The Slovak thirty of 'adoption now appears plafonata on percentages that do not allow it to be competitive for the crystal ball. You can & ograve; for & ograve; bet to see her on the podium of Kontiolahti as it has proven to be a woman of "great events".
The movement & more ugrave; winner ever in the history of the women's biathlon is going through a difficult time, to say the least. We speak of course of Germany, whose crisis & egrave; shown by the following numbers: & nbsp;
In November 2009, adding the prize list of athletes in activities & agrave; were obtained 4 Crystal Balls absolute, complete with 72 victories and 186 podium finishes in the World Cup.
Today, however, after the retirement of Andrea Henkel summing the prize list of athletes in activities & agrave; you have 4 wins and 11 podium finishes. Moreover, the vast majority of these results are signed by Miriam G & ouml; ssner not yet got over the terrible accident on a mountain bike where & egrave; was the victim in May 2013 and on which the head coach Gerlad H & ouml; nig you & egrave; said highly pessimistic.
To make matters worse Laura Dahlmeier, one of the most athletes & ugrave; promising the team is doing to deal with the after-effects of an ankle injury that does not want to heal. The twenty-Bavarian & egrave; definitely the future of the team cos & igrave; as Franziska Preu & szlig ;, & ugrave more than a year; young, but promises to be a lean winter home Teutonic since the twenties & egrave; still a prospectus champion and the only athlete matures Team & egrave; the twenty-seven Franziska Hildebrand, still hunting the first podium of his career.
If she cries Athens, Sparta does not laugh. Russia, too, the 'other superpower historical biathlon women's approaches 2014 -' '15 with a problematic situation. Olga Vilukhina, appointed to assume the role of number 1 of the movement, has surprisingly announced his decision to take a year out and there are no clear prospects of thirty-six Olga Zaitseva that, more & ugrave; parts, is referred to as focused solely on the World Cup.
Therefore, the team led by Vladimir will have Korolkevich & agrave; rely, at least in the early part of the winter, to athletes so far seen only occasionally in top positions such as Yana Romanova, Ekateryna Glazyrina and Ekaterina Shumilova, except as frequent outbursts sudden and unexpected resurrections agonisitche typical of the Russian movement.
Si & egrave; gi & agrave; said in part Italu (CLICK HERE TO READ THE PRESENTATION OF ITALIAN TEAM), while worthy of mention noble movements such as dell''Ucraina and France.
The former Soviet republic could remove important results despite the 'no Olena Pidhrushna and physical problems of life Semerenko thanks to twin Valj, that if he could avoid trouble at the range would be more woman with success & ugrave; of a race, and always silent (but solid) Juliya Dzhyma. In the summer we also have seen signs of interest from a couple of Russian imported (Burdyga and Abramova), which could provide a relay medal in Kontiolahti.
The team Alps instead has to deal with the retirement of Marie Laure Brunet and at least it will be until January & agrave; without the new mother Marie Dorin Habert. However Anais Bescond assumed the dimension of "filly crazy", or woman capable of winning cos & igrave; how to shut off the thirty prorpio depending on the fluctuating performance at the range. Above all, we are already & agrave; glimpsing the figures of two athletes who promise to become major stars of the women's circuit in the medium-term future, or Chloe Chevalier (born in 1995) and Justine Braisaz (1996).
