2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – Pursuit Women

None The 2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – Pursuit Women will start at Sunday December 4, 2011 in Östersund and will finish Sunday March 17, 2012 in Khanty-Mansiysk. Defending titlist is Kaisa Mäkäräinen of Finland. Competition format This is a pursuit competition. The biathletes' starts are separated by their time differences from a previous race, most commonly a sprint race.To be precise; the pursuit competition start intervals are determined by common rounding to the nearest whole second of the biathletes' time differences from the previous race – the amount of time each biathlete lagged after the winner to the finish line. The contestants ski a distance of 10 km mi over five laps. On four of the laps, the contestants shoot at targets; each miss requires the contestant to ski a penalty loop of 150 m ft. There are two prone shooting bouts and two standing bouts, in that order. The contestant crossing the finish line first is the winner. To prevent awkward and/or dangerous crowding of the skiing loops, and overcapacity at the shooting range, World Cup Pursuits are held with only the 60 top ranking biathletes after the preceding race. The biathletes shoot (on a first-come, first-served basis) at the lane corresponding to the position they arrived for all shooting bouts. Points are awarded for each event, according to each contestant's finish. When all events are completed. the contestant with the highest number of points is declared the season winner. 2010–11 Top 3 Standings MedalAthletePointsGold:FIN Kaisa Mäkäräinen343Silver:GER Andrea Henkel 303Bronze:SWE Helena Ekholm279 Medal winners Event: Gold: Time Silver: Time Bronze: TimeÖstersunddetailsTora Berger 33:56.9(0+0+0+1)Kaisa Mäkäräinen 34:30.1(1+0+0+1)Magdalena Neuner 35:21.3(0+1+2+1)HochfilzendetailsDarya Domracheva 29:34.4(1+0+1+0)Olga Zaitseva 29:34.7(0+0+0+1)Magdalena Neuner 29:37.5(0+0+0+2)Hochfilzen (2)detailsOlga Zaitseva 31:52.2(0+0+0+0)Helena Ekholm 32:21.3(0+0+0+1)Darya Domracheva 32:36.9(1+1+0+1)Nové MěstodetailsTora Berger 31:00.3(0+1+2+0)Helena Ekholm 31:18.2(0+0+0+0)Marie Laure Brunet 31:25.4(0+0+0+0)HolmenkollendetailsMagdalena Neuner 30:31.1(0+1+1+0)Olga Zaitseva 31:07.6(0+0+0+0)Darya Domracheva 31:22.5(0+0+2+0)KontiolahtidetailsKaisa Mäkäräinen 32:23.0(0+1+0+0)Magdalena Neuner 32:58.9(0+1+1+2)Darya Domracheva 33:00.0(2+0+2+0)Biathlon World Championships 2012detailsDarya Domracheva 29:39.6(0+1+1+0)Magdalena Neuner 30:04.7(0+1+0+2)Olga Vilukhina 30:55.0(0+0+1+0)Khanty-MansiyskdetailsDarya Domracheva 32:44.5(0+1+1+0)Kaisa Mäkäräinen 33:09.3(1+1+0+0)Vita Semerenko 33:16.6 (0+0+1+1) Standings # Name ÖST HOC1 HOC2 NOV HOL KON WCH KHA TotalStandings Pursuit Women 1 Darya Domracheva BLR 25 60 48 43 48 48 60 60 392 2 Magdalena Neuner GER 48 48 29 36 60 54 54 43 372 3 Tora Berger NOR 60 32 43 60 43 40 43 40 361 4 Kaisa Mäkäräinen FIN 54 30 40 31 40 60 21 54 330 5 Olga Zaitseva RUS 26 54 60 40 54 43 36 — 313 6 Helena Ekholm SWE 34 29 54 54 25 29 40 30 295 7 Andrea Henkel GER 31 43 38 34 30 34 30 36 276 8 Marie Laure Brunet FRA 36 34 27 48 36 14 38 38 271 9 Marie Dorin Habert FRA 23 36 34 27 34 26 32 34 246 10 Olga Vilukhina RUS 4 38 32 23 38 36 48 — 219 11 Tina Bachmann GER 38 27 — 12 31 38 27 27 200 12 Anastasiya Kuzmina SVK 32 31 21 13 20 31 22 28 198 13 Vita Semerenko UKR 28 — 31 24 — 20 34 48 185 14 Krystyna Pałka POL 27 24 28 32 10 18 14 31 184 15 Synnøve Solemdal NOR 24 16 26 21 24 27 17 22 177 16 Anna Bogaliy-Titovets RUS 30 40 36 8 — 24 18 14 170 17 Svetlana Sleptsova RUS 40 23 16 29 — — 25 24 157 18 Zina Kocher CAN 17 18 11 11 12 32 15 29 145 19 Teja Gregorin SLO 16 19 0 28 11 28 29 — 131 20 Miriam Gössner GER 3 3 13 30 22 21 19 16 127 21 Valj Semerenko UKR 43 17 0 22 — 17 0 23 122 22 Natalya Burdyga UKR 13 8 5 38 15 19 — 18 116 23 Michela Ponza ITA 15 20 22 14 7 12 1 25 116 24 Veronika Vítková CZE — 22 0 20 32 — 23 2 99 25 Elise Ringen NOR 29 26 — 10 13 0 20 0 98 26 Weronika Nowakowska-Ziemniak POL 1 10 20 26 — 9 24 6 96 27 Selina Gasparin SUI 0 11 23 — 19 3 28 9 93 28 Sophie Boilley FRA 19 5 25 6 18 16 0 — 89 29 Anais Bescond FRA 12 1 0 2 23 25 13 10 86 30 Franziska Hildebrand GER 14 — 18 — 29 0 0 19 80 31 Jana Gereková SVK 0 6 — 15 1 22 10 26 80 32 Éva Tófalvi ROU 21 28 0 18 — — — — 67 33 Mari Laukkanen FIN 7 0 9 0 27 0 16 0 59 34 Anna Maria Nilsson SWE 0 12 14 0 0 — 31 0 57 35 Liudmila Kalinchik BLR — 0 10 19 5 10 11 1 56 36 Susan Dunklee USA 9 0 — — 6 — 5 32 52 37 Agnieszka Cyl POL 22 25 0 — 2 — 3 — 52 38 Bente Landheim NOR 0 14 — 16 0 13 9 0 52 39 Andreja Mali SLO 5 0 4 0 8 6 7 20 50 40 Yana Romanova RUS — 7 — — — 30 — 12 49 41 Magdalena Gwizdoń POL 0 — 7 — 14 1 26 — 48 42 Ekaterina Glazyrina RUS — — — 25 9 — — 13 47 43 Kadri Lehtla EST — — — — 21 23 0 — 44 44 Ekaterina Yurlova RUS — 21 19 — — — — — 40 45 Anna Karin Strömstedt SWE 0 — 12 0 26 — 0 0 38 46 Nastassia Dubarezava BLR 8 0 8 5 0 7 8 0 36 47 Karin Oberhofer ITA 0 4 24 3 — 0 — — 31 48 Tang Jialin CHN — — 30 — — — — — 30 49 Anna Boulygina RUS — — — — 28 — — — 28 50 Ekaterina Shumilova RUS — — — 17 — 0 — 11 28 51 Olena Pidhrushna UKR 18 — — 9 — 0 — — 27 52 Nadezhda Skardino BLR 0 0 0 0 4 2 12 7 25 53 Sara Studebaker USA 2 0 — 0 16 5 0 0 23 54 Anastasia Zagoruiko RUS — — — — — 15 — 8 23 55 Monika Hojnisz POL 10 13 — — — — — — 23 56 Tiril Eckhoff NOR — — — — 0 0 — 21 21 57 Fanny Welle-Strand Horn NOR 20 — — — 0 — — — 20 58 Megan Imrie CAN 0 — 17 0 0 — 2 0 19 59 Katja Haller ITA — — — 0 17 0 0 — 17 60 Marina Korovina NOR — — — — — — — 17 17 61 Olga Poltoranina KAZ — 0 15 1 — — — — 16 62 Maren Hammerschmidt GER — — — — — — — 15 15 62 Carolin Hennecke GER — 15 — — — — — — 15 64 Diana Rasimovičiūtė LTU 6 — 0 0 — 4 0 5 15 65 Natalia Sorokina RUS 11 — 3 — — — — — 14 66 Laure Soulie AND — 9 0 0 0 0 4 — 13 67 Jenny Jonsson SWE — — — — — 11 0 — 11 68 Juliya Dzhyma UKR — — — — — 8 0 3 11 69 Elisabeth Högberg SWE — — — 7 — — — — 7 70 Fuyuko Suzuki JPN — — 0 0 0 0 6 — 6 71 Nadine Horchler GER — — 6 — — — — — 6 72 Aleksandra Alikina RUS — — — — — — — 4 4 72 Gabriela Soukalová CZE — — — 4 — — — — 4 74 Marine Bolliet FRA — 2 2 — 0 — — 0 4 75 Emilia Yordanova BUL — — — 0 3 — 0 — 3 76 Iryna Kryuko BLR — — 1 0 0 — — 0 1 References - Pursuit Women, 2011-12 Biathlon World Cup
