HISTORY MONDIALIIl 10 March 2016 assigning the forty-fourth World masculine title of & rsquo; individual, unique format of each event included in the World Championship program, whose inaugural edition & egrave; held in 1958.
Who & egrave; only recently approached the biathlon you might ask why & eacute; this race is called "individual & rdquo ;, when in reality & agrave; also sprint, pursuit and mass start are in turn individual tests.
Well, the point & egrave; that until the mid & agrave; the years & rsquo; 70 this was the 'only existing competition reserved for individuals. Therefore call "individual" was sufficient to distinguish it from the relay.
Despite the definition of "Individual" is still the officially recognized dall''Ibu, to avoid confusion we tend to call this format using the number reported milage. So "Twenty" for men and "Fifteen" for women.
From 1958 to 2015 there are 33 different world champions, belonging to 13 different countries.
Among them, a trio & egrave; He was able to win the 'world championship gold to 3 times. It is the Soviet Vladimir Melanin (1959, 1962, 1963) and Aleksander Tikhonov (1969, 1970, 1973), as well as & eacute; Finnish Heikki Ikola (1975, 1977, 1981).
However all three have managed to win two consecutive editions, made by the German firm also subsequently Frank Ullrich (1982, 1983) and the Frenchman Martin Fourcade (2013, 2015). Quest & rsquo; last will have & agrave; Therefore a date with history, since & eacute; He could become the first man to prevail for three World Championships in a row.
In terms of countries, still commands the dead & nbsp; Soviet Union with 10 statements. Follow at an altitude of 8 Norway and the German movement (5 branded DDR and 3 after reunification). Finland has won 6 times, while France & egrave; Tax on 4 occasions. It counts 1 success for Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Russia, Slovenia and Sweden.
So curious to note that after the collapse dell''Urss & ndash; for decades dominatrix in this format & ndash; It has come a single assertion of a Republic born from the breakup dell''Impero communist. However, that victory & egrave; very extended, since & eacute; & Egrave; dated 1996.
There are five biathletes in activities & agrave; to claim a world title nell''individuale. It's Emil Hegle Svendsen (2008), Ole Einar Bj ø rndalen (2009), Tarjei B ø (2011), Jakov Fak (2012) and Martin Fourcade (2013, 2015).
Three members of this quintet have on board also medals of less valuable metals. Bj ø rndalen got one silver (2008) and one bronze (2004); Svendsen 1 silver (2015), Fak one bronze (2009).
Curiously quest & rsquo; last held in medal two different nations, since & eacute; seven years ago still competing for native Croatia, before the passage under the Slovenian flag, took place starting from & rsquo; & rsquo winter 2010-; 11.
In addition to five world champions, in activities & agrave; we find other 6 men on the podium of a & rsquo; individual World Cup. It is Simon Fourcade (silver in 2012), Tim Burke (silver in 2013), Michal Å lesingr (bronze in 2007), Jaroslav Soukup (bronze in 2012), Fredrik Lindstr & ouml; m (bronze in 2013) and Ondrej Moravec (bronze in 2015).
The 'Italy won un''unica medal, although the pi & ugrave metal; prized. The 11 February 1993 in Borovetz, Andreas Zingerle won the 'gold ahead of Russian Sergey Tarasov, silver, and Sergei Tchepikov, bronze.
