HISTORY
Kontiolahti has made its appearance on the calendar in 1990, but never find a resting place. In fact, over the years the resort Finnish entry and exit from the schedule of maximum continuous circuit, rimamendo excluded for periods of time even four years old, and being held all of the time'' beginning and at the other end of the stagone.
However, in this stage of Karelia 2014, the North can boast the status of pre-event world. In fact, 5 to 15 March 2015 will be held Kontiolahti the event rainbow, already organized in 1999, however, when, due to the very rigid temperatures, we were able to play only six of the ten events.
So far in 20 races were sailed Kontiolahti female individual of the first level (3 twenty kilometers, 9 sprint, 7 chases, 1 mass start), two of which have value champion (sprint and pursuit in 1999).
There are 16 athletes with at least one win. Among them, no one has ever excelled more than twice and the only women able to repeat a success are Anna Carin Olofsson, Olena Zubrilova, Martina Glagow and Darya Domracheva. It should however be noted as Zubrilova is the only one to have won in two different seasons (1999 and 2006), while the other three are imposed within a few days. Moreover Zubrilova won with two different flags since the first statement was'' representation of Ukraine and the second of Belarus.
In terms of controls the nations Germany with 6 successes followed at a safe distance from Norway (3), Sweden (3) and Belarus (3). They have instead only 1 statement Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Russia and Ukraine.
In the coming days Domracheva, that here in Kontiolahti exactly four years ago won the first victories of his career,'' will have the opportunity to become the queen of the Finnish town. It will become the first athlete to win three times on this slope and possibly the woman with most podiums (currently at 4, only Zubrilova and Kati Wilhelm have done better with her 5).
SPRINT - WILL THE FIRST'' BIS? Those 13 and March 15, 2014, respectively, will be the tenth and the eleventh'' sprint to contend on the snows of Kontiolahti. Initially, Thursday was supposed to be a mixed relay, but the cancellation of'' tracking Östersund has wisely led the'' l'' Ibu to eliminate unnecessary test team in favor of the recovery of a individual competition.
The interesting thing about this format is that Kontiolahti have so far recorded nine different winners in as many races, Anne Elvebakk, Anfisa Reztsova, Uschi Disl, Martina Zellner, Sandrine Bailly, Anna Carin Olofsson, Martina Glagow, Magdalena Neuner and Darya Domracheva .
The total inequality of success will continue, or will there be an'' athlete to excel a second time in his career? '' Obviously, the number one suspect to do this is just Domracheva, the only woman in business have already won a sprint in North Karelia.
Among the nations instead there is a marked domination of Germany, with 4 statements, while Norway, Russia, France, Sweden and Belarus have a single success.
Also in terms of podium finishes, as well as the victories, absolute equilibrium exists. Consider that in 9 sprint came in the top-three with 21 other athletes and that none of them has ever done more than two times. In six have repeated a podium Elena Belova, Martina Zellner, Olena Zubrilova, Uschi Disl, Kati Wilhelm, Darya Domracheva.
