2012–13 Biathlon World Cup – Relay Men

None The 2012–13 Biathlon World Cup – Relay Men will start at Sunday December 9, 2012 in Hochfilzen and will finish Friday March 10, 2013 in Sochi. Defending titlist is French team. Competition format The relay teams consist of four biathletes, who each ski 7.5 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.). 2011–12 Top 3 Standings MedalCountryPoints2011/12 Final StandingsGold: 198Silver: 190Bronze: 189 Medal winners Event: Gold: Time Silver: Time Bronze: TimeHochfilzendetails Lars Helge BirkelandOle Einar BjørndalenVetle Sjåstad ChristiansenHenrik L'Abée-Lund 1:17:55.2(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (1+0)(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+0) Vincent JayJean-Guillaume BéatrixAlexis BœufMartin Fourcade 1:18:29.7(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (3+0)(1+0) (1+0)(1+0) (0+0) Anton ShipulinAndrei MakoveevEvgeny UstyugovDmitry Malyshko 1:18:41.8(0+0) (0+0)(2+0) (3+0)(0+0) (0+0)(2+0) (2+0)Oberhofdetails Alexey VolkovEvgeniy GaranichevAnton ShipulinDmitry Malyshko 1:20:35.7(2+0) (1+0)(0+0) (3+0)(1+0) (2+0)(2+0) (1+0) Henrik L'Abée-LundOle Einar BjørndalenErlend BjøntegaardEmil Hegle Svendsen 1:20:44.1(0+0) (3+1)(0+0) (0+0)(1+0) (1+0)(0+0) (3+0) Simon SchemppErik LesserArnd PeifferFlorian Graf 1:21:15.0(3+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+0)(3+0) (1+0)(2+0) (0+0)Ruhpoldingdetails Simon FourcadeJean-Guillaume BéatrixAlexis BœufMartin Fourcade 1:13:11.2(0+0) (0+0)(1+0) (1+0)(0+0) (1+0)(1+0) (0+0) Lars Helge BirkelandTarjei BøHenrik L'Abée-LundEmil Hegle Svendsen 1:13:20.6(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (3+0)(1+0) (0+0)(1+0) (3+0) Simon EderFriedrich PinterDominik LandertingerChristoph Sumann 1:13:20.9(0+0) (2+0)(2+0) (1+0)(0+0) (1+0)(3+0) (0+0)Antholtzdetails Simon FourcadeJean-Guillaume BéatrixAlexis BœufMartin Fourcade 1:13:26.0(0+0) (0+1)(0+0) (0+2)(0+0) (0+1)(0+2) (0+2) Anton ShipulinEvgeny UstyugovEvgeniy GaranichevDmitry Malyshko 1:13:36.1(0+2) (0+0)(0+0) (0+3)(0+0) (0+1)(0+0) (0+2) Simon EderChristoph SumannDaniel MesotitschDominik Landertinger 1:14:44.5(0+0) (0+2)(0+1) (0+1)(0+0) (0+1)(0+0) (1+3)World Championships 2013details Ole Einar BjørndalenHenrik L'Abée-LundTarjei BøEmil Hegle Svendsen 1:15:39.0(0+1) (0+2)(0+0) (0+0)(0+1) (0+0)(0+0) (0+1) Simon FourcadeJean-Guillaume BéatrixAlexis BœufMartin Fourcade 1:16:51.8(0+0) (0+3)(0+0) (0+1)(0+0) (0+1)(0+0) (0+2) Simon SchemppAndreas BirnbacherArnd PeifferErik Lesser 1:16:57.5(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (2+3)Sochidetails Anton ShipulinAlexandr LoginovDmitry MalyshkoEvgeny Ustyugov 1:09:50.8(1+0) (1+0)(3+1) (1+0)(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+0) Erik LesserAndreas BirnbacherArnd PeifferBenedikt Doll 1:10:29.1(3+0) (0+0)(1+0) (0+0)(0+0) (1+0)(2+0) (3+0) Michal ŠlesingrJaroslav SoukupVit JanovOndřej Moravec 1:10:33.7(2+0) (2+0)(3+0) (1+0)(3+0) (1+0)(0+0) (1+0) Standings # Name HOC OBE RUP ANT WCH SOC TotalStandings Relay men https://web.archive.org/web/20110301193058/http://services.biathlonresults.com/Cups.aspx 2011-03-01 1 48 60 40 54 43 60 305 2 60 54 54 31 60 43 302 3 54 28 60 60 54 40 296 4 38 48 43 36 48 54 267 5 43 30 48 48 40 34 243 6 40 34 28 38 38 48 226 7 32 36 38 43 30 36 215 8 31 43 36 34 27 29 200 9 34 27 30 30 36 38 195 10 36 32 31 32 31 32 194 11 24 40 27 29 29 31 180 12 23 38 34 27 28 30 180 13 29 29 29 26 32 28 173 14 27 31 32 28 26 27 171 15 30 26 24 40 23 — 143 16 26 24 22 22 21 25 140 17 28 — 26 25 34 26 139 18 25 18 21 24 25 24 137 19 17 21 23 23 15 23 122 20 16 19 18 18 22 22 115 21 21 23 20 — 19 21 104 22 22 25 25 — 20 — 92 23 18 22 19 20 13 — 92 24 GBR 19 20 16 17 18 — 90 25 — — 17 21 24 — 62 26 20 — 15 — 16 — 51 27 — — — 19 14 — 33 28 — — — — 17 — 17 29 — — — — 12 — 12 References - Relay Men, 2010-11 Biathlon World Cup
