2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – Mass start Women

None The 2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – Mass start Women will start at January 8, 2012, in Oberhof and will finish in Khanty-Mansiysk. Defending titlist is Darya Domracheva of Belarus. Competition format In the mass start, all biathletes start at the same time and the first across the finish line wins. In this 12.5 km mi competition, the distance is skied over five laps; there are four bouts of shooting (two prone, two standing, in that order) with the first shooting bout being at the lane corresponding to your bib (Bib #10 shoots at lane #10 regardless of position in race.) with rest of the shooting bouts being at the lane in the position they arrived (Arrive at the lane in fifth place, you shoot at lane five.). As in sprint races, competitors must ski one 150 m penalty loop for each miss. Here again, to avoid unwanted congestion, World Cup Mass starts are held with only the 30 top ranking athletes on the start line (half that of the Pursuit as here all contestants start simultaneously). 2010–11 Top 3 Standings MedalAthletePoints2010/11 Final standingsSilver:BLR Darya Domracheva236Gold:GER Magdalena Neuner228Bronze:NOR Tora Berger206 Medal winners Event: Gold: Time Silver: Time Bronze: TimeOberhofdetailsMagdalena Neuner 40:02.2(1+1+1+0)Tora Berger 40:14.7(1+0+1+0)Andrea Henkel 40:34.2(1+0+0+0)Antholz-Anterselvadetails Darya Domracheva 35:03.6(2+0+0+0) Anastasiya Kuzmina 35:28.8(0+0+0+1) Magdalena Neuner 35:35.7(0+0+0+2)Holmenkollendetails Andrea Henkel 38:01.2(1+0+0+0) Darya Domracheva 38:27.8(1+1+1+1) Teja Gregorin 38:28.4(0+0+0+0)World Championshipsdetails Tora Berger 35:41.6(0+1+0+0) Marie Laure Brunet 35:49.7(0+0+0+1) Kaisa Mäkäräinen 35:54.3(0+0+0+1)Khanty-Mansiyskdetails Darya Domracheva 39:01.4(1+0+0+2) Tora Berger 39:11.4(0+0+0+1) Kaisa Mäkäräinen 39:34.0(2+0+1+1) Standings # Name OBE ANT HOL WCH KHA TotalStandings Mass start women 1 Darya Domracheva BLR 36 60 54 40 60 250 2 Tora Berger NOR 54 43 30 60 54 241 3 Marie Laure Brunet FRA 38 26 40 54 40 198 4 Andrea Henkel GER 48 28 60 28 31 195 5 Kaisa Mäkäräinen FIN 29 30 32 48 48 187 6 Anastasiya Kuzmina SVK 20 54 29 34 43 180 7 Magdalena Neuner GER 60 48 — 31 38 176 8 Marie Dorin Habert FRA 34 32 34 38 34 172 9 Helena Ekholm SWE 40 34 43 26 26 169 10 Vita Semerenko UKR 32 38 — 36 30 136 11 Teja Gregorin SLO 27 31 48 28 — 134 12 Tina Bachmann GER 24 18 28 43 21 134 13 Synnøve Solemdal NOR 21 25 36 23 14 119 14 Krystyna Pałka POL 14 27 31 16 29 117 15 Svetlana Sleptsova RUS 25 40 14 17 20 116 16 Olga Vilukhina RUS 23 21 38 22 — 104 17 Olga Zaitseva RUS 43 36 23 0 — 102 18 Michela Ponza ITA 26 19 24 13 17 99 19 Elise Ringen NOR 13 13 19 19 25 89 20 Franziska Hildebrand GER 15 16 26 — 27 84 21 Veronika Vítková CZE — — 27 27 24 78 22 Anna Bogaliy-Titovets RUS 30 15 — — 28 73 23 Valj Semerenko UKR 28 22 — — 23 73 24 Weronika Nowakowska-Ziemniak POL — 24 — 32 15 71 25 Natalya Burdyga UKR 16 17 20 — 18 71 26 Zina Kocher CAN — — 12 18 32 61 27 Ekaterina Yurlova RUS 18 23 18 — — 59 28 Jana Gerekova SVK — — — 30 22 52 29 Susan Dunklee USA — 14 — 25 13 52 30 Olena Pidhrushna UKR 19 29 — — — 48 31 Nastassia Dubarezava BLR 31 — 15 — — 46 32 Miriam Gössner GER — 11 21 — 12 44 33 Anna Maria Nilsson SWE 22 — — 21 — 43 34 Tiril Eckhoff NOR — — — — 36 36 35 Selina Gasparin SUI — — 17 15 — 32 36 Mari Laukkanen FIN — — 16 14 — 30 37 Diana Rasimovičiūtė LTU 12 — — — 16 28 38 Anna Boulygina RUS — — 25 — — 25 39 Anaïs Bescond FRA — — — 24 — 24 40 Sophie Boilley FRA — — 22 — — 22 41 Fuyuko Suzuki JPN — — — 20 — 20 41 Nadezhda Skardino BLR — 20 — — — 20 43 Ekaterina Glazyrina RUS — — — — 19 19 44 Marine Bolliet FRA 17 — — — — 17 45 Éva Tófalvi ROU — — 13 — — 13 46 Magdalena Gwizdon POL — — — 12 — 12 46 Katja Haller SUI — 12 — — — 12 48 Andreja Mali SLO — — — — 11 11 48 Fanny Welle-Strand Horn NOR 11 — — — — 11 References - Mass Start Women, 2010-11 Biathlon World Cup
