2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – Mass start Men

None The 2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – Mass start Men will start at January 8, 2012 in Oberhof. Defending titlist is Emil Hegle Svendsen of Norway. 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). 2010–11 Top 3 Standings MedalAthletePoints2010/11 Final standingsGold:NOR Emil Hegle Svendsen244Silver:FRA Martin Fourcade230Bronze:NOR Tarjei Bø211 Medal winners Event: Gold: Time Silver: Time Bronze: TimeOberhofdetailsAndreas Birnbacher 38:34.6(0+0+0+0)Simon Fourcade 38:38.9(0+1+0+0)Emil Hegle Svendsen 39:04.2(0+1+2+0)Antholz-AnterselvadetailsAndreas Birnbacher 38:45.7(0+0+1+0)Anton Shipulin 38:45.8(0+0+1+0)Martin Fourcade 38:46.0(0+0+0+1)HolmenkollendetailsEmil Hegle Svendsen 40:44.1(0+1+1+0)Andreas Birnbacher 40:50.4(0+0+0+0)Evgeniy Garanichev 41:01.9(0+0+1+1)World Championshipsdetails Martin Fourcade 38:25.4(0+1+1+0)Björn Ferry 38:38.4(0+0+0+0)Fredrik Lindström 38:28.8(0+1+1+0)Khanty-MansiyskdetailsEmil Hegle Svendsen 40:44.1(0+1+0+1)Arnd Peiffer 40:50.4(1+1+1+1)Anton Shipulin 41:01.9(0+0+2+0) Standings # Name OBE ANT HOL WCH KHA TotalStandings Mass start men 1 Andreas Birnbacher GER 60 60 54 43 43 260 2 Emil Hegle Svendsen NOR 48 27 60 23 60 218 3 Martin Fourcade FRA 28 48 40 60 26 202 4 Fredrik Lindström SWE 40 43 14 48 30 175 5 Anton Shipulin RUS 32 54 26 12 48 172 6 Simon Fourcade FRA 54 29 22 40 14 159 7 Dimitry Malyshko RUS 23 38 43 — 38 142 8 Arnd Peiffer GER 36 14 — 36 54 140 9 Carl Johan Bergman SWE 31 24 18 38 29 140 10 Evgeniy Garanichev RUS — 25 48 32 31 136 11 Michal Šlesingr CZE 19 40 20 29 28 136 12 Björn Ferry SWE 27 23 — 54 23 127 13 Evgeny Ustyugov RUS 17 22 38 31 16 124 14 Jaroslav Soukup CZE 22 36 17 30 12 117 15 Alexis Bœuf FRA 38 34 15 26 0 113 16 Jakov Fak SLO 43 32 36 — — 111 17 Ole Einar Bjørndalen NOR — 31 24 34 21 110 18 Florian Graf GER 18 26 23 — 40 107 19 Daniel Mesotitsch AUT 34 16 12 27 18 107 20 Tarjei Bø NOR — 19 32 24 32 107 21 Lowell Bailey USA 25 20 27 16 17 105 22 Tim Burke USA — 21 34 18 19 92 23 Lukas Hofer ITA 13 11 — 25 36 85 24 Andrei Makoveev RUS 29 18 — 13 22 82 25 Benjamin Weger SUI 16 30 30 0 — 76 26 Timofey Lapshin RUS 26 — — — 34 60 27 Simon Schempp GER 20 — 25 15 — 60 28 Ondřej Moravec CZE — — — 28 27 55 29 Simon Hallenbarter SUI — 13 16 — 25 54 30 Klemen Bauer SLO 21 — — 20 13 54 31 Jean-Guillaume Béatrix FRA — 15 19 — 15 49 32 Alexey Volkov RUS — 17 28 — — 45 33 Andriy Deryzemlya UKR — — — 22 20 42 34 Markus Windisch ITA — — 11 21 — 32 35 Brendan Green CAN — — 31 — — 31 36 Michael Rösch GER 30 — — — — 30 37 Jean-Philippe Leguellec CAN — — 29 — — 29 38 Michail Kletcherov BUL — 28 — — — 28 39 Lars Berger NOR 24 — — — — 24 39 Serhiy Semenov UKR — — — — 24 24 41 Krasimir Anev BUL 12 12 — — — 24 42 Christian De Lorenzi ITA — — 21 — — 21 43 Michael Greis GER — — — 19 — 19 44 Dominik Landertinger AUT — — — 17 — 17 45 Christoph Sumann AUT 15 — — — — 15 46 Sergey Novikov BLR — — — 14 — 14 47 Artem Pryma UKR 14 — — — — 14 48 Rune Brattsveen NOR — — 13 — — 13 49 Simon Eder AUT 11 — — — — 11 References Category:2011–12 Biathlon World Cup
