2009–10 Biathlon World Cup – Pursuit Men

None The 2009–10 Biathlon World Cup – Pursuit Men will start at Saturday December 13, 2009 in Hochfilzen and will finish Saturday March 20, 2010 in Oslo. Defending titlist is Ole Einar Bjørndalen of Norway. Competition format This is a pursuit competition. The biathletes' starts are separated by their time differences from a previous race, most commonly a sprint race.To be precise; the pursuit competition start intervals are determined by common rounding to the nearest whole second of the biathletes' time differences from the previous race – the amount of time each biathlete lagged after the winner to the finish line. The contestants ski a distance of 12.5 km mi over five laps. On four of the laps, the contestants shoot at targets; each miss requires the contestant to ski a penalty loop of 150 m ft. There are two prone shooting bouts and two standing bouts, in that order. The contestant crossing the finish line first is the winner. To prevent awkward and/or dangerous crowding of the skiing loops, and overcapacity at the shooting range, World Cup Pursuits are held with only the 60 top ranking biathletes after the preceding race. The biathletes shoot (on a first-come, first-served basis) at the lane corresponding to the position they arrived for all shooting bouts. Points are awarded for each event, according to each contestant's finish. When all events are completed. the contestant with the highest number of points is declared the season winner. 2008–09 Top 3 Standings MedalAthletePointshttp://data.biathlonworld.com/data/archives.aspx?CupId=BT0809SWRLCP__SMPU 2008/09 Final standings 2009-12-12 https://web.archive.org/web/20120307001142/http://data.biathlonworld.com/data/archives.aspx?CupId=BT0809SWRLCP__SMPU 2012-03-07 dead Gold:NOR Ole Einar Bjørndalen342Silver:NOR Emil Hegle Svendsen308Bronze:POL Tomasz Sikora276 Medal winners Event: Gold: Time Silver: Time Bronze: TimeHochfilzendetailsEmil Hegle Svendsen 34:36.7(0+0+0+1)Simon Eder 34:38.3(0+1+0+0)Ole Einar Bjørndalen 34:39.8(0+1+2+0)PokljukadetailsEvgeny Ustyugov 34:50.9(0+1+1+0)Roland Lessing 35:00.2(0+0+0+0)Simon Eder 35:01.8(1+0+0+1)AntholzdetailsDaniel Mesotitsch 31:50.4(0+0+0+1)Arnd Peiffer 31:52.1(0+1+0+0)Dominik Landertinger 32:10.1(1+1+1+0)2010 Winter OlympicsdetailsBjörn Ferry 33:38.4(0+0+0+1)Christoph Sumann 33:54.9(0+0+1+1)Vincent Jay 34:06.6(0+0+1+1)KontiolahtidetailsMartin Fourcade 32:35.1(1+0+0+0)Christian De Lorenzi 32:45.2(0+0+0+1)Vincent Jay 32:50.7(0+0+0+0)OslodetailsMartin Fourcade 33:46.9 (1+0+1+1)Simon Schempp 33:55.9 (0+0+0+0)Ivan Tcherezov 34:13.1 (0+0+0+1) Standings # Name HOC POK ANT OLY KON OSL TotalStandings Pursuit men 1 Martin Fourcade FRA 27 – 43 7 60 60 197 2 Simon Eder AUT 54 48 23 43 28 13 196 3 Ivan Tcherezov RUS 19 34 29 38 40 48 189 4 Evgeny Ustyugov RUS 40 60 2 26 20 38 184 5 Dominik Landertinger AUT 21 43 48 27 26 40 184 6 Christoph Sumann AUT 43 – 30 54 25 27 179 7 Vincent Jay FRA – 30 25 48 48 23 174 8 Emil Hegle Svendsen NOR 60 – – 34 36 43 173 9 Arnd Peiffer GER 14 40 54 4 32 20 160 10 Björn Ferry SWE 36 27 – 60 – 34 157 11 Simon Fourcade FRA 34 32 34 – 22 32 154 12 Daniel Mesotitsch AUT 25 12 60 0 9 29 135 13 Simon Schempp GER 8 31 – – 29 54 122 14 Tomasz Sikora POL – 25 38 23 30 – 116 15 Andreas Birnbacher GER 13 2 28 28 18 25 114 16 Ole Einar Bjørndalen NOR 48 – – 36 – 24 108 17 Carl Johan Bergman SWE 20 4 – 22 43 9 98 18 Klemen Bauer SLO – 36 3 32 24 0 95 19 Christian De Lorenzi ITA 29 – 11 – 54 0 94 20 Sergey Novikov BLR 23 19 – 20 13 18 93 21 Tim Burke USA 31 38 – 0 0 17 86 22 Serguei Sednev UKR – 23 32 31 0 – 86 23 Anton Shipulin RUS 11 16 36 21 – – 84 24 Jean-Philippe Leguellec CAN – 28 8 30 16 – 82 25 Pavol Hurajt SVK 0 – 14 25 34 7 80 26 Nikolay Kruglov RUS 38 15 26 – – – 79 27 Jakov Fak CRO – – 24 16 7 30 77 28 Michael Greis GER 15 – – 40 – 21 76 29 Lars Berger NOR 32 26 – 18 0 – 76 30 Maxim Tchoudov RUS 28 – 0 – 19 26 73 31 Michal Šlesingr CZE 2 0 0 12 38 19 71 32 Halvard Hanevold NOR 30 17 – 24 0 – 71 33 Vincent Defrasne FRA 22 – 19 19 6 – 66 34 Friedrich Pinter AUT 18 18 13 – 17 0 66 35 Fredrik Lindström SWE 0 21 – 8 – 31 60 36 Roland Lessing EST – 54 – – – 0 54 37 Alexander Os NOR 0 24 – – 27 2 53 38 Christoph Stephan GER – – 40 11 – 0 51 39 Jaroslav Soukup CZE 17 8 22 0 – 3 50 40 Janez Maric SLO 0 6 0 0 11 28 45 41 Frode Andresen NOR – 22 18 – 4 – 44 42 Alexander Wolf GER – 11 17 – 0 16 44 43 Thomas Frei SUI – 0 – 29 14 – 43 44 Simon Hallenbarter SUI 0 – 21 0 – 22 43 45 Tobias Eberhard AUT 0 – 31 – – 11 42 46 Serhiy Semenov UKR – 20 0 2 12 6 40 47 Victor Vasilyev RUS 10 0 – – 15 15 40 48 Andriy Deryzemlya UKR 12 7 6 15 – – 40 49 Brendan Green CAN 0 0 27 – – 12 39 50 Alexey Volkov RUS – – – – 1 36 37 51 Paavo Puurunen FIN 16 14 7 – – 0 37 52 Lukas Hofer ITA 26 – 9 0 – – 35 53 Tarjei Bø NOR – 29 – – – 4 33 54 Alexsandr Chervyhkov KAZ 9 13 0 0 10 – 32 55 Magnús Jónsson SWE 0 0 – – 31 – 31 56 Mattias Nilsson SWE 24 – – – 5 – 29 57 Jeremy Teela USA – 10 – 17 – – 27 58 Benjamin Weger SUI – – – – 23 1 24 59 Rustam Valiullin BLR 6 – – 0 8 8 22 60 Alexis Bœuf FRA – – – – 21 – 21 61 Hans Martin Gjedrem NOR – 0 20 – – – 20 62 Matthias Simmen SUI 4 0 0 13 0 0 17 63 Dušan Šimočko SVK – – 16 – – – 16 64 Mattia Cola ITA – 0 15 0 – – 15 65 Yan Savitskiy KAZ 0 – – 14 0 – 14 66 Tomas Holubec CZE 0 – – – – 14 14 67 Ted Armgren SWE – – 12 – – – 12 68 Alexandr Syman BLR 1 – – 10 – – 11 69 Ondřej Moravec CZE 0 0 10 – – – 10 70 Kazuya Inomata JPN – – – – – 10 10 71 Olexander Bilanenko UKR 7 – 1 – 2 – 10 72 Ilmārs Bricis ITA – – – 9 0 – 9 73 Krasimir Anev BUL – 9 – 0 – – 9 74 Zhang Chengye CHN – 0 – 6 – – 6 75 Zdeněk Vítek CZE – – 0 3 3 – 6 76 Michail Kletcherov BUL 5 – – 0 – – 5 77 Vasja Rupnik SLO 0 5 – 0 0 – 5 78 Lowell Bailey USA – 0 – 5 0 – 5 79 Tanguy Roche FRA – – – – – 5 5 79 Vitali Tsvetau BLR – – 5 – – 5 81 Claudio Böckli SUI 0 0 4 – 0 0 4 82 Michael Rösch GER 3 – 0 – – – 3 83 Ronny Hafsås NOR 0 3 – – 0 – 3 84 Evgeny Abramenko BLR – 1 – 1 – – 2 References - Pursuit Men, 2009-10 Biathlon World Cup
