Martin Fourcade has excelled in all 3 twenty kilometers played last season (Ostersund, Nove Mesto, Sochi) becoming the fourth athlete to achieve a winning streak like that after the Soviet Vladimir Melanin (three world championship gold medals from 1962 to 1964), German Mark Kirchner (January-March 1991) and compatriot Raphael Poirée (February-March 2007).
Therefore, if the French were to impose itself on Thursday become the first biathlete to win four consecutive individual. Moreover, the Catalan has won the last two twenty kilometers played in Östersund and the eventual success would also match Emil Hegle Svendsen, so far the only man to have imposed three times in this format in the system in Sweden.
Svendsen (3) and Martin Fourcade (2), however, are the only ones to boast more than a victory. Among the other nine athletes have excelled stand out the names of the Soviet Union Alexander Tikhonov and Sergei Tchepikov, the German Mark Kirchner and Michael Greis, in addition to the ubiquitous Ole Einar Bjoerndalen.
It also has an Italian success, signed by Wilfried Pallhuber December 5, 1996. Italy is therefore among the seven nations to be climbing on the highest step of the podium. Command Norway with 5 statements, followed by the Soviet Union, France and Germany 2. Finland, Slovenia and Italy to note 1.
Then leaps to the eye such as Russia, in spite of a considerable number of podiums, never managed to get on the top step. The best results are obtained from the places of honor and Sergey Tarasov Alexei Kobelev in the mid 90s.
