SEASON 2016-2017Nella season were played in which two individuals were imposed two different athletes, and are on the podium a total of five different men. The '1 December in Ostersund has established himself ahead of Martin Fourcade Johannes Thingnes BÃ¸ and Vladimir Chepelin. Instead January 20, Anterselva, success went to Anton Shipulin front of Martin Fourcade and Sergey Semenov. It should be remembered as the 20km of Hochfilzen is the 'last dell''inverno, consequently assign the specialty Cup. In the Fourcade specialties ranking is red bib with 114 points against the 90 of Shipulin, 86 and 81 of Bjoerndalen Johannes BÃ¸. Catalan just finish sixth to win the Cup dedicated to the 20 km, otherwise the game could reopen. As for the 'Italy, the best result this format is the 19 th place of Lukas Hofer in Ã–stersund. Dominik Windisch has never gone beyond the 24 ^ square. Thomas Bormolini once 38th, was the terminus points in that area from which instead has always stayed away Joseph Montello. CLICK HERE TO LIST THE START OF THE RACE AND ITS ANALYSIS PERSONAL HISTORY IRIDATAChi has only recently approached the biathlon You may wonder why this race is called "individual", when in reality even sprint, pursuit and mass start are in turn individual tests. Well, the point is that until the mid-70s 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 2016 there are 33 different world champions, belonging to 13 different countries. Among them, a quartet 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), the Finnish Heikki Ikola (1975, 1977, 1981) and the French Martin Fourcade (2013, 2015, 2016). Transalpine but was the only one to have imposed for 3 consecutive editions in Hochfilzen and therefore will have a date with history, since it could become the first man to win four world titles. In terms of countries, still commands the defunct 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 has imposed on 5 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 - for decades dominatrix in this format - has come a single assertion of a Republic born from the breakup dell''Impero communist. However, that victory is far away in time, since it is dated 1996. Including the aforementioned Fourcade, are five biathletes in activities to claim a world title nell''individuale. Catalan are added Emil Hegle Svendsen (2008), Ole Einar Bjoerndalen (2009), BÃ¸ Tarjei (2011) and Jakov Fak (2012). Three members of this quintet have on board also medals of less valuable metals. Bjoerndalen got one silver (2008) and one bronze (2004); Svendsen 1 silver (2015) and Fak one bronze (2009). Curiously, this has led to the coin two different nations, since eight years ago still competing for native Croatia, before the passage under the Slovenian flag, took place from winter 2010-'11. In addition to five world champions, we find other activities in 8 men on the podium of the World Cup un'individuale. It is Simon Fourcade (silver in 2012), Tim Burke (silver in 2013), Dominik Landertinger (silver in 2016), Michal Å lesingr (bronze in 2007), Jaroslav Soukup (bronze in 2012), Fredrik LindstrÃ¶m (bronze in 2013) Ondrej Moravec (bronze in 2015) and Simon Eder (bronze in 2016). The 'Italy won un''unica medal, although the most precious metal. The 11 February 1993 in Borovetz, Andreas Zingerle won the 'gold ahead of Russian Sergey Tarasov, silver, and Sergei Tchepikov, bronze. AS '' THE WORLD OF OSLO 20161.
