2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – Relay Men

None The 2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – Relay Men will start at Sunday December 11, 2011 in Hochfilzen and will finish Friday March 9, 2012 in Ruhpolding at Biathlon World Championships 2012 event. Defending titlist is Norwegian 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.). 2010–11 Top 3 Standings MedalCountryPoints2010/11 Final StandingsGold: 216Silver: 199Bronze: 163 Medal winners Event: Gold: Time Silver: Time Bronze: TimeHochfilzendetails Rune BrattsveenLars BergerEmil Hegle SvendsenTarjei Bø 1:14:52.9(0+1) (0+3)(0+0) (1+3)(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+0) Anton ShipulinAndrei MakoveevEvgeny UstyugovDimitry Malyshko 1:15:06.8(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+1)(0+1) (0+1)(0+2) (0+0) Vincent JaySimon FourcadeAlexis BœufMartin Fourcade 1:15:23.9(0+0) (0+2)(0+0) (0+0)(0+1) (0+0)(0+2) (0+1)Oberhofdetails Christian de LorenziMarkus WindischDominik WindischLukas Hofer 1:30:49.1(0+0) (0+1) (0+0) (0+1) (0+1) (0+1) (0+0) (0+1) Anton ShipulinEvgeniy GaranichevEvgeny UstyugovAlexey Volkov 1:30:55.2(0+0) (0+2)(0+2) (0+3)(0+0) (2+3)(0+2) (0+1) Tobias ArwidsonBjörn FerryFredrik LindströmCarl Johan Bergman 1:31:21.8 (0+0) (0+0) (0+0) (0+1) (0+0) (0+1) (0+3) (0+1)Antholtzdetails Jean-Guillaume BéatrixSimon FourcadeAlexis BœufMartin Fourcade 1:12:14.7(0+1) (0+0)(0+1) (0+2)(0+0) (0+1)(0+1) (0+1) Michael RöschAndreas BirnbacherFlorian GrafArnd Peiffer 1:12:26.7(0+1) (0+1)(0+0) (0+2)(0+1) (0+1)(0+0) (1+3) Simon EderTobias EberhardDaniel MesotitschDominik Landertinger1:12:56.4 (0+0) (0+1)(0+0) (0+2)(0+1) (0+3)(0+1) (0+1)World Championships 2012details Ole Einar BjørndalenRune BrattsveenTarjei BøEmil Hegle Svendsen 1:17:26.8(0+0) (1+3)(0+0) (0+2)(0+1) (0+1)(0+0) (0+0) Jean-Guillaume BéatrixSimon FourcadeAlexis BœufMartin Fourcade 1:17:56.5(0+1) (0+1)(0+1) (0+1)(0+1) (0+0)(0+2) (0+3) Simon SchemppAndreas BirnbacherMichael GreisArnd Peiffer 1:18:19.8(0+0) (0+1)(0+1) (0+3)(0+2) (0+0)(0+1) (0+2) Standings # Name HOC OBE ANT WCH TotalStandings Relay men 1 48 36 60 54 198 2 60 40 30 60 190 3 54 54 43 38 189 4 38 43 54 48 183 5 40 38 48 40 166 6 29 60 29 43 161 7 43 48 40 25 156 8 34 28 38 30 130 9 31 31 34 34 130 10 36 32 27 32 127 11 32 30 31 31 124 12 30 34 32 27 123 13 28 23 29 36 116 14 25 25 26 29 105 15 27 29 22 24 102 16 23 24 23 23 93 17 22 27 24 18 91 18 26 — 36 28 90 19 18 26 21 22 87 20 21 22 25 19 87 21 19 21 20 20 80 22 GBR 16 20 19 13 68 23 20 19 — 21 60 24 24 — — 26 50 25 — — 18 16 34 26 17 — — 17 34 27 — — 17 — 17 28 — — — 15 15 29 — — — 14 14 30 — — — 12 12 References - Relay Men, 2010-11 Biathlon World Cup
