2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – Pursuit Men

None The 2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – Pursuit Men will start at Sunday December 4, 2011 in Östersund and will finish Sunday March 17, 2012 in Khanty-Mansiysk. Defending titlist is Tarjei Bø of Norway. 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 12.5 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:NOR Tarjei Bø334Silver:FRA Martin Fourcade 320Bronze:NOR Emil Hegle Svendsen304 Medal winners Event: Gold: Time Silver: Time Bronze: TimeÖstersunddetailsMartin Fourcade 32:56.0(0+0+0+0)Emil Hegle Svendsen 33:21.5(0+0+1+1)Jaroslav Soukup 33:22.9(0+1+0+0)HochfilzendetailsEmil Hegle Svendsen 33:09.0(1+0+1+0)Tarjei Bø 33:09.1(0+0+1+0)Benjamin Weger 33:13.9(1+0+0+0)Hochfilzen (2)detailsAndreas Birnbacher 35:40.3(0+0+0+0)Ole Einar Bjørndalen 35:40.5(0+0+0+0)Simon Fourcade 35:41.6(1+0+0+0)Nové MěstodetailsAnton Shipulin 34:50.8(0+0+1+0)Martin Fourcade 35:01.9(1+0+1+1)Arnd Peiffer 35:01.9(1+0+1+1)HolmenkollendetailsArnd Peiffer 31:44.0(0+0+0+0)Emil Hegle Svendsen 32:15.2(0+1+0+1)Evgeniy Garanichev 32:20.3(0+0+1+1)KontiolahtidetailsOle Einar Bjørndalen 33:43.8(2+0+0+0)Martin Fourcade 33:57.6(0+1+0+2)Dmitry Malyshko 34:06.5(1+0+1+0)Biathlon World Championships 2012details Martin Fourcade 33:39.4(1+1+0+2) Carl Johan Bergman 33:44.6(0+1+1+0) Anton Shipulin 34:01.5(1+0+0+0)Khanty-Mansiyskdetails Martin Fourcade 34:47.1(0+0+1+0)Arnd Peiffer 35:06.7(0+0+0+1)Emil Hegle Svendsen 35:21.8(1+1+0+0) Standings #
