2012–13 Biathlon World Cup – Mass start Women

None The 2012–13 Biathlon World Cup – Mass start Women will start at December 16, 2012 in Pokljuka 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). 2011–12 Top 3 Standings MedalAthletePoints2010/11 Final standingsGold:BLR Darya Domracheva250Silver:NOR Tora Berger241Bronze:FRA Marie Laure Brunet198 Medal winners Event: Gold: Time Silver: Time Bronze: TimePokljukadetailsTora Berger 35:53.8(0+2+0+0)Miriam Gössner 36:29.3(0+3+0+1)Gabriela Soukalová 36:55.9(0+2+0+0)RuhpoldingdetailsTora Berger 37:14.4(0+0+1+0)Darya Domracheva 37:41.1(1+0+1+0)Olga Zaitseva 37:52.2(0+0+0+1)World ChampionshipsdetailsDarya Domracheva 35:54.5(1+0+0+1)Tora Berger 36:03.2(1+0+1+0)Monika Hojnisz 36:22.1(0+0+1+0)HolmenkollendetailsTora Berger 36:58.8(0+0+0+2)Anastasiya Kuzmina 37:04.2(0+2+0+0)Darya Domracheva 37:22.1(0+1+2+0)Khanty-MansiyskdetailsGabriela Soukalová 38:22.4(0+0+0+0)Marie Dorin Habert 38:33.6(0+0+1+0)Kaisa Mäkäräinen 38:45.3(0+0+1+1) Standings # Name POK RUH WCH HOL KHA TotalStandings Mass start women 1 Tora Berger NOR 60 60 54 60 28 262 2 Darya Domracheva BLR 20 54 60 48 18 200 3 Vita Semerenko UKR 21 43 43 38 40 185 4 Marie Dorin Habert FRA 32 29 32 28 54 175 5 Kaisa Mäkäräinen FIN 27 38 24 34 48 171 6 Teja Gregorin SLO 38 40 34 32 27 171 7 Gabriela Soukalová CZE 48 11 23 24 60 166 8 Miriam Gössner GER 54 34 38 22 12 160 9 Anastasiya Kuzmina SVK 28 32 26 54 17 157 10 Olga Zaitseva RUS 43 48 40 — 19 150 11 Anaïs Bescond FRA 31 22 27 43 25 148 12 Andrea Henkel GER 30 28 28 29 32 147 13 Krystyna Pałka POL 36 26 36 19 29 146 14 Olena Pidhrushna UKR 16 31 30 40 24 141 15 Olga Vilukhina RUS 34 27 18 — 43 122 16 Selina Gasparin SUI 23 36 — 25 38 122 17 Veronika Vítková CZE 25 24 22 27 21 119 18 Jana Gerekova SVK 14 20 31 17 23 105 19 Karin Oberhofer ITA 18 — 21 36 22 97 20 Ekaterina Glazyrina RUS 26 14 20 — 34 94 21 Magdalena Gwizdon POL 15 19 14 31 13 92 22 Nadezhda Skardino BLR 17 21 15 23 14 90 23 Valj Semerenko UKR — 25 0 30 30 85 24 Weronika Nowakowska-Ziemniak POL 13 15 29 — 20 77 25 Tiril Eckhoff NOR 22 — — 21 31 74 26 Synnøve Solemdal NOR 12 23 25 11 — 71 27 Ekaterina Shumilova RUS 29 17 12 — — 58 28 Ekaterina Yurlova RUS 40 13 — — — 53 29 Laura Dahlmeier GER — — — 14 36 50 30 Sophie Boilley FRA 24 — — 26 — 50 31 Franziska Hildebrand GER — — 19 15 16 50 32 Monika Hojnisz POL — — 48 — — 48 33 Fanny Welle-Strand Horn NOR — 30 — 18 — 48 34 Nadine Horchler GER — — — 20 15 35 35 Marie-Laure Brunet FRA — 18 13 — — 31 36 Juliya Dzhyma UKR — — — — 26 26 37 Rosanna Crawford CAN 19 — — — — 19 38 Ann Kristin Flatland NOR — — 17 — — 17 39 Zhang Yan CHN — — 16 — — 16 39 Mari Laukkanen FIN — 16 — — — 16 39 Michela Ponza ITA — — — 16 — 16 42 Mariya Panfilova UKR — — — 13 — 13 43 Andreja Mali SLO — 12 — — — 12 43 Natalya Burdyga UKR — — — 12 — 12 45 Agnieszka Cyl POL 11 — — — — 11 45 Darya Usanova KAZ — — — — 11 11 - Mass Start Women, 2012-13 Biathlon World Cup
