2012–13 Biathlon World Cup – Mass start Men

None January 2013 yes January 2013 The 2012–13 Biathlon World Cup – Mass start Men will start at December 16, 2012 in Pokljuka. Defending titlist is Andreas Birnbacher of Germany. Competition format In the mass start, all biathletes start at the same time and the first across the finish line wins. In this 15.0 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). 2011–12 Top 3 Standings MedalAthletePoints2011/12 Final standingsGold:GER Andreas Birnbacher260Silver:NOR Emil Hegle Svendsen218Bronze:FRA Martin Fourcade202 Medal winners Event: Gold: Time Silver: Time Bronze: TimePokljukadetailsAndreas Birnbacher 35:39.4(0+0+0+0)Jakov Fak 35:57.1(0+0+1+1)Tim Burke 36:02.0(0+0+1+1)RuhpoldingdetailsMartin Fourcade 36:27.7(0+0+0+0)Dmitry Malyshko 36:28.2(1+0+0+0)Emil Hegle Svendsen 36:38.3(0+1+1+0)World ChampionshipsdetailsTarjei Bø 36:15.8(0+0+0+0)Anton Shipulin 36:19.5(0+0+1+0)Emil Hegle Svendsen 36:23.2(0+1+0+0)HolmenkollendetailsOndřej Moravec 39:48.7(0+0+0+1)Martin Fourcade 40:02.4(1+0+0+2)Erik Lesser 40:05.5(0+0+1+0)Khanty-MansiyskdetailsMartin Fourcade 41:51.4(0+1+0+0)Dominik Landertinger 42:05.3(0+0+1+0)Emil Hegle Svendsen 42:08.7(0+0+1+0) Standings # Name POK RUH WCH HOL KHA Total[ Standings Mass start men] 1 Martin Fourcade FRA 43 60 31 54 60 248 2 Emil Hegle Svendsen NOR 38 48 48 — 48 182 3 Tim Burke USA 48 22 11 43 43 167 4 Andreas Birnbacher GER 60 36 30 23 14 163 5 Ondřej Moravec CZE 14 16 43 60 29 162 6 Tarjei Bø NOR — 27 60 36 36 159 7 Dominik Landertinger AUT 18 30 38 15 54 155 8 Jakov Fak SLO 54 38 22 25 15 154 9 Simon Eder AUT 25 21 23 31 40 140 10 Björn Ferry SWE 40 32 34 12 19 137 11 Jean-Guillaume Béatrix FRA 22 24 36 34 18 134 12 Fredrik Lindström SWE 26 18 29 32 28 133 13 Erik Lesser GER 17 11 40 48 13 129 14 Dmitry Malyshko RUS 27 54 26 — 20 127 15 Anton Shipulin RUS 19 13 54 — 34 120 16 Andriy Deryzemlya UKR — 25 21 38 30 114 17 Simon Schempp GER 24 40 27 11 — 102 18 Evgeniy Garanichev RUS 34 19 16 — 32 101 19 Michal Šlesingr CZE 23 23 — 22 31 99 20 Arnd Peiffer GER 11 26 18 19 23 97 21 Alexis Bœuf FRA 21 43 13 16 — 93 22 Florian Graf GER 31 17 — 24 21 93 23 Lukas Hofer ITA — 29 20 27 17 93 24 Simon Fourcade FRA — — 32 21 38 91 25 Henrik L'Abée-Lund NOR 32 34 24 — — 90 26 Ole Einar Bjørndalen NOR 29 — 17 28 16 90 27 Evgeny Ustyugov RUS 36 28 25 — — 89 28 Andrei Makoveev RUS 15 12 — 40 11 78 29 Lowell Bailey USA — — 28 14 27 69 30 Friedrich Pinter AUT 30 14 — 20 — 64 31 Carl Johan Bergman SWE 28 20 — — 12 60 32 Jean-Philippe Leguellec CAN 20 — 19 17 — 56 33 Daniel Mesotitsch AUT — — — 30 24 54 34 Lars Helge Birkeland NOR — 31 — — — 31 35 Alexey Volkov RUS — — — 29 — 29 36 Christoph Sumann AUT — — — — 26 26 36 Alexandr Loginov RUS — — — 26 — 26 38 Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen NOR — — — — 25 25 39 Alexey Slepov RUS — — — — 22 22 40 Daniel Böhm GER — — — 18 — 18 41 Julian Eberhard AUT 16 — — — — 16 42 Klemen Bauer SLO — — 15 — — 15 42 Scott Perras CAN — 15 — — — 15 44 Benjamin Weger SUI — — 14 — — 14 45 Vladimir Iliev BUL 13 — — — — 13 45 Andrejs Rastorgujevs LAT — — — 13 — 13 47 Lars Berger NOR 12 — — — — 12 47 Tomas Kaukėnas LTU — — 12 — — 12 References Category:2012–13 Biathlon World Cup
