2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – Relay Women

International sporting competition The 2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – Relay Women will start at Sunday December 11, 2011 in Hochfilzen and will finish Friday March 10, 2012 in Ruhpolding at Biathlon World Championships 2012 event. Defending titlist is German team. Competition format The relay teams consist of four biathletes, who each ski 6 km mi, each leg skied over three laps, with two shooting rounds; one prone, one standing. For every round of five targets there are eight bullets available, though the last three can only be single-loaded manually one at a time from spare round holders or bullets deposited by the competitor into trays or onto the mat at the firing line. If after eight bullets there are still misses, one 150 m penalty loop must be taken for each missed target remaining. The first-leg participants start all at the same time, and as in cross-country skiing relays, every athlete of a team must touch the team's next-leg participant to perform a valid changeover. On the first shooting stage of the first leg, the participant must shoot in the lane corresponding to their bib number (Bib #10 shoots at lane #10 regardless of position in race.), then for the remainder of the relay, the relay team shoots at the lane in the position they arrived (Arrive at the range in 5th place, you shoot at lane five.). 2010–11 Top 3 Standings MedalCountryPoints2010/11 Final StandingsGold: 206Silver: 190Bronze: 177 Medal winners Event: Gold: Time Silver: Time Bronze: TimeHochfilzendetails Fanny Welle-Strand HornElise RingenSynnøve SolemdalTora Berger 1:07:13.3(0+2) (0+2)(0+1) (0+3)(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+2) Marie Laure BrunetAnais BescondSophie BoilleyMarie Dorin Habert 1:07:26.9(0+0) (0+0)(0+1) (0+2)(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+0) Svetlana SleptsovaNatalia SorokinaAnna Bogaliy-TitovetsOlga Zaitseva 1:07:42.7(0+3) (0+0)(0+3) (0+0)(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+0)Oberhofdetails Anna Bogaliy-TitovetsSvetlana SleptsovaOlga ZaitsevaOlga Vilukhina 1:19:32.0 (0+2) (0+2)(0+2) (0+0)(0+3) (0+3)(0+0) (0+1) Fanny Welle-Strand HornElise RingenSynnøve SolemdalTora Berger 1:19:37.9(0+0) (2+3)(0+1) (0+1)(0+2) (0+2)(0+1) (0+1) Marie Dorin HabertAnais BescondMarine BollietSophie Boilley 1:20:38.4 (0+1) (0+0)(1+3) (1+3)(0+1) (0+2)(0+0) (0+2)Antholtzdetails Marie Laure BrunetSophie BoilleyAnais BescondMarie Dorin Habert 1:17:06.5(0+0) (0+2)(0+1) (0+3)(0+2) (0+1)(0+0) (0+0) Nadezhda SkardinoLiudmila KalinchikNastassia DubarezavaDarya Domracheva 1:17:09.0(0+1) (0+0)(0+0) (0+2)(0+2) (0+3)(0+1) (0+1) Ekaterina GlazyrinaSvetlana SleptsovaOlga ZaitsevaOlga Vilukhina 1:17:27.9(0+2) (0+1)(0+1) (0+2)(0+1) (1+3)(0+1) (0+0)World Championships 2012details Tina BachmannMagdalena NeunerMiriam GössnerAndrea Henkel 1:09:33.0(0+1) (0+0)(0+3) (1+3)(0+2) (0+1)(0+0) (0+0) Marie-Laure BrunetSophie BoilleyAnaïs BescondMarie Dorin 1:10:01.5(0+1) (0+0)(0+1) (0+0)(0+1) (0+2)(0+1) (0+1) Fanny Welle-Strand HornElise RingenSynnøve SolemdalTora Berger 1:10:12.5(0+1) (0+3)(0+1) (0+2)(0+1) (0+3)(0+1) (0+0) Standings # Name HOC OBE ANT WCH TotalStandings Relay women 1 54 48 60 54 216 2 60 54 43 48 205 3 48 60 48 36 192 4 38 43 38 60 179 5 40 40 54 43 177 6 34 34 40 38 146 7 43 32 34 32 141 8 30 36 31 40 137 9 36 31 36 29 132 10 29 38 27 34 128 11 31 30 30 31 122 12 28 28 29 24 109 13 32 — 32 28 92 14 27 — 28 30 85 15 — 27 24 27 78 16 24 — 25 26 75 17 — 29 23 21 73 18 — — 26 25 51 19 26 — — 23 49 20 23 — — 22 47 21 25 — — 16 41 22 — — — 20 20 23 GBR — — — 19 19 24 — — — 18 18 25 — — — 17 17 26 — — — 15 15 References - Relay Women, 2010-11 Biathlon World Cup
