Why is Kaisheva not on the national team? Reztsova: Sleptsova is promoted by Medvedtsev, Kaisheva by Kasperovich. The mess didn't end there. We publish a petition test
Izhevsk fans of biathlete Ulyana Kaisheva published a petition on the Internet. In an appeal to the Russian Minister of Sports Pavel Kolobkov and the President of the Russian Biathlon Union Alexander Kravtsov, which has already been signed by 447 people out of the required 500, they demand that the athlete be included in the Russian national team for the World Cup, which started at the end of November. After two stages the results are not impressive. The best result is 6th place for Ekaterina Glazyrina in the individual race and 6th place for the team in the relay. Svetlana Sleptsova is performing the worst so far - in individual races, the representative of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug has not yet risen above 32nd place. Fans are outraged by this state of affairs and ask sports officials to consider the possibility of promoting young biathletes.
“Kaisheva needs to improve a little more”
A student of the Udmurt biathlon school, Ulyana Kaisheva, started the 2016-2017 season on November 28 from the stages of the IBU Cup. In the sprint, the Mozhiginsk athlete became second. At the second stage, Kaisheva took gold as part of the relay team and was first in the pursuit race. High results at the stages of the IBU Cup - a chance to get to the KM. However, the coaching staff always has the final say.
I think that Ulyana Kaisheva needs to improve a little more in order to catch her courage. Our task is to prepare the team and field the strongest squad for the World Cup. And in the future we will consider the plan with an eye to the Olympic Games. We consider both Kaisheva and Slivko as candidates in the relay - we will definitely give them a chance to prove themselves,” the SBR press service quotes the head coach of the Russian biathlon team, Alexander Kasperovich, as saying. - We discussed for a long time about the performance of Kaisheva and Slivko in Nove Mesto, but we are looking ahead: now the girls were in Ridnau, at an altitude of 1400 m, next will be Obertilliach - there is also an altitude of 1400 m. We want the girls to improve their mountain training so that their functional state will allow them to compete in January.
The coach of the Udmurt biathlon team, Nikolai Khaziev, also agrees with the decision of the RBU coaching staff.
Now Ulyana is in the mountains, and if she goes down to the World Cup stage in Nove Mesto, there is an option that she will fall into a “functional hole,” that is, the body will take a long time to acclimatize. This may affect the results. The coaches promise that she will definitely take part in the German stage of the World Championships after the New Year, and I consider this decision to be normal,” noted Nikolai Grigorievich. “Perhaps initially it should have been driven on the World Cup tracks, then this situation would not have happened.
“Kaisheva is not going to Nove Mesto”
On December 11, commentator Dmitry Guberniev reported that Kaisheva will not compete at the 3rd stage of the World Cup in Nove Mesto.
“Friends, you will laugh, but Ulyana Kaisheva is not going to Nove Mesto. The composition of the team remains the same. The coaches insist that Kaisheva will come to Oberhof. Question: what year? I’m waiting for your comments, don’t be shy, we have a democracy,” Guberniev wrote on his Instagram page.
“Dear fans, please don’t worry!”
Meanwhile, the fans sincerely wish our women's team victory at the world championships. However, they believe that with the current composition it is impossible to take prizes. They also express their indignation in the athlete’s official support group.
Of course, I’m not a coach, but it seems to me that it’s better and much faster to get used to the speed of the WC when you run races at the WC, and not at second-rate starts, writes Georgy Povetkin.
In Nove Mesto there is a simple track, and Kaisheva could perform successfully, which is not at all included in the plans of our would-be coaches and biathlon businessmen, but the sponsors dragging theirs would be upset, so they will take her, at best, to a foggy and windy Oberhof, where she has been since the last numbers, will fight on nerves for the right to be seen and heard, and on the same nerve she may perform unsuccessfully, then calmly and with a “clear conscience” push her until the end of the year, notes Vladimir Vladimirov.
Ulyana herself wrote on her VKontakte page on December 13: “Dear fans, please don’t worry that I didn’t go to the KM this time!!! I'm not worried, because... You can find some positives in this situation, have a nice day everyone!”
BY THE WAY!

“After the next stages at the World Cup and IBU Cup in biathlon it became known that coaching staff Russian national biathlon team did not change the composition of the women's team, which in Once again performed unsuccessfully. The best places were 12th and 13th in the sprint and pursuit, and in the relay Russian team again she was unable to achieve a positive result, falling behind the leader - the German national team - by more than two minutes.
In turn, shooting skier from Udmurtia Ulyana Kaisheva at the IBU Cup stage in Ridnaun, Italy, won gold as part of the four in the mixed relay, and also won the pursuit and showed the second result in the sprint. At the moment, Kaisheva is in 4th place in the IBU Cup standings, which is best indicator among the national team athletes in the IBU ranking.”

One of the most talented young biathletes in the world.
Vladimir IVANOV
from Ruhpolding
She was considered the most promising biathlete in Russia even before Olympic Games in Sochi. Ulyana was then the main world star in juniors: gold at the Youth Olympics, four victories at one world championship. Talent! This is a worthy replacement, many thought then. Five years have passed since then, and Kaisheva, alas, not only did not become the leader of the team, but did not even gain a foothold in it.
HOPES FOR PYEONGCHANG
Ulyana’s career in adult biathlon is - hopefully for now - going topsy-turvy. The debut turned out to be crumpled - in 2015, the promising junior was brought to Pokljuka straight from the “heights”, from Ridnau. Acclimatization and excitement took their toll - she took only 62nd place. After which she was not invited to the main team for a whole year.
Ulyana's last season was unsuccessful. This year, before Ruhpolding, she competed only in the IBU Cup - and now leads the overall standings there. The option of inviting her to the World Cup had long been suggested, but the coaches decided to give the athlete a chance at the very last moment. Or she performs great right away - and ends up in Olympic team, or watches the competition in Pyechang on TV. Just one possibility - this is generally quite harsh towards the athlete. Provided, of course, that you believe in him and want to see him on the team.
Ulyana went to Ruhpolding with hopes. Yes, the individual race is not her favorite discipline. However, this is some kind of opportunity to prove yourself.
HORROR AT THE FRONTIER
“I warmed up well, everything was fine during the shooting,” Kaisheva recalled after the race. And until the second shooting, events developed positively. However, a disaster happened at the “stand”: the diopter on the athlete’s rifle came loose. As a result, three misses, 89th place and probably collapse Olympic hopes. It’s hard to imagine with what feelings Ulyana ran through this race. She clearly did not deserve such an offensive scenario.
How is it possible that the diopter has become unscrewed, no one knows. Perhaps this is some kind of technical defect. Perhaps it was the negligence of the athlete and the coaches who did not check the weapon the day before. There is also a completely unpleasant version that one of the ill-wishers “helped” Kaisheva.
“I don’t even want to believe in the possibility of this,” three-time world champion Ivan Tcherezov threw up his hands.
Ilya Trifanov, a journalist and master of sports in biathlon, was more categorical. “If this can be imagined at the Russian Championship, then here it is completely out of the question.”
At the same time, outside the voice recorder, some knowledgeable people said that they really believed in the dark version.
WILL THERE BE A CHANCE IN THE RELAY RACE?
Be that as it may, the diopter ruined not only the race for 23-year-old Kaisheva, but also had a colossal impact on her entire future sporting destiny. Now her chances of going to Pyeongchang 2018 are minimal. Who would have believed this in 2013?
In an amicable way, Ulyana should now be allowed to compete in Saturday’s relay. Still, the current failure at the turn is an accident with a rifle, and not an athlete’s mistake. We didn’t see Kaisheva’s real level in the individual race. No one understood what she was ready for now. And our women's team, to put it mildly, does not look like a team without weak points. There are questions about at least two of the five spots on the team. So why not check the entire nearby reserve? That would be fair.
Race results and details -
« Ulyana Kaisheva before the race they twisted the diopter, on the way to the second firing line it fell out, and without it the athlete simply could not shoot accurately” - on the emergence of this conspiracy theory after the completion of the women’s individual race It didn't take much time. Naturally, it is impossible to prove or disprove this theory, but it can be developed beautifully and with pleasure.
And in the comments at the “Championship” it was actively developed. Beautiful and with pleasure. Even the possible names of those who cheated with Ulyana’s rifle were named.

Kaisheva is being systematically drained. Before that, they lost Mironova, putting her in the last numbers in the race, where she got caught in the rain and, naturally, showed nothing during her run. After the race, Virolainen herself and her mother unanimously shouted in an interview that the course was the same for everyone, so why was Dasha never put at the end, and her mother would have immediately created a storm that Dasha was being disturbed. Also now A. Reztsova in her interviews makes “attacks” on Yurlova, trying to unbalance her. Everything is being done so that super-Dasha goes to the Olympics.
Virolainen: Mom asked me not to pick up a rifle
Unusual advice from Anfisa Reztsova, problems with shooting, a link to the IBU Cup and relaxed shooting in Ruhpolding.
maste77
I agree with those who write that Kaisheva was leaked on purpose. She will have to move to another team; our team will not allow her to develop. This is our Russian reality.
aleksander51
Kaisheva was dealt with 100 percent to make her look worse. Her story about diopters especially suggests this. It's hard to believe in such a coincidence. Especially in such a race, where a lot depends on shooting, and for our athletes, perhaps everything. She needed to be broken so that she could not perform better than Virolainen. Which, without shame or conscience, declares that the track was broken. Apparently she forgot what number she was running under. But for the Canadian with her starting number, the track was already normal. Virolainen is so confident that she will go to the Olympics that she doesn’t even bother about what she’s carrying. Everything was decided for her a long time ago. And it is still unclear why Guberniev so persistently praises her successes. Is he really being paid extra for this? In general, everything is done to ensure that the best are the worst. It's just disgusting.

Look for who benefits. Surely Konovalov and Kasperovich cheated with her rifle. Everything you can expect from these.
vinnyamin
No way. I wouldn’t like to think that such scoundrels exist in the national team. And Ulyana from now on needs to be careful with her personal weapons, and keep them locked away from any competitors.
But the coach of the Russian national team, Sergei Konovalov, has not yet fully decided on the exact classification of the situation. According to him, the athlete is to blame, but there is no need to blame her, but in fact, this is all an accident.
Konovalov: Kaisheva’s rifle failure is an omission of the athlete herself
ilya890
That's right, one time in a million. In fact, this simply cannot happen. You put forward your thieves. What emotional state will Ulyana be in now? She bawled there anyway. Cattle.
riaz0r
Damn, is Akhatova’s broken firing pin an accident in a million? Tell us who they wanted to see instead of Akhatova in the national team at that time, that they sawed off her firing pin? Or is it just a coincidence and that’s all? And also, even if we believe you and assume that this is not an accident, why doesn’t Kaisheva check her rifle? Just a matter of business - check it before the start and give it to the organizers for stamping; it simply won’t be in other hands after that, so as to break something!
brodskaft
Doesn't this smell like the tricks of competitors? A trip to the Olympics is at stake. It's not every day that diopters fall off. Something similar happened last year with Malyshko’s numbers at KIBU. And the other day, one of the athletes was caught doping his opponent.
Japanese canoeist disqualified for doping opponent
easybuddha
That’s what needed to be proven: they won’t let Kaisheva perform normally. “The diopter is *lost” somewhere, yeah.” By the way, the best of ours.
Of course, there were alternative opinions of readers, but they did not gain much fame. In the sense of advantages.
adventuretime
Excuses. 3 misses without a diopter, 3 with it, the speed is the same as the others.
The new rifle was shot, she said it herself, but there was no will and desire to prove something, because she gave up. Should we feel sorry for her for this? Back to the IBU Cup.
serjbrag
This is a mixture of carelessness, unprofessionalism and lack of leadership qualities (no one checks, and I will look like I don’t trust someone). Even if we assume a conspiracy theory (they drag athletes from moneyed regions, mother’s daughters, etc.), then the athletes themselves know the entire “inner kitchen” much better than the local “experts”. Therefore, check it a hundred times. Apparently she herself is still more comfortable at the IBU - she wins regularly, receives good prize money (the leader in prize money in the team), doesn’t “tread on anyone’s toes” and is not pressed by responsibility.
pickuper
Yes, people used to be able to hit a squirrel in the eye, but now they can’t get into a plate without a diopter.
Double Olympic champion biathlon, Olympic champion ski racing Anfisa Reztsova expressed dissatisfaction with the system of forming the Russian women's team for the World Cup. The team for the first stage of the World Cup in Östersund included , Victoria Slivko And Olga Podchufarova. The day before it became known that Slivko would not perform in Sweden due to illness.
“Akimova and Slivko were included in the lineup quite justifiably. At recent test starts they performed well, being among the leaders. I am confused by the presence of other names on the team. A few weeks ago I spoke with the President of the Russian Biathlon Union, Alexander Kravtsov, who assured that the team will be formed exclusively on a sporting basis. But after the end of the selection it became clear that all this remained only in words.
I got into the national team, which had not competed at the international level for a long time. The coaches also took Ulyana Kaisheva, although she also didn’t show anything special at the test starts. But Daria Virolainen was “unhooked” from the squad. It turns out that the principles of sports selection affected only her.
As I understand it, Sveta is promoted not by the coaching council, but by individuals. Apparently, her inclusion in the composition was facilitated by new mentor women's team Valery Medvedtsev, who trained Sleptsova in Krasnoyarsk. Apparently, behind Kaisheva’s promotion is Main coach team... As long as such dishonesty on the part of individuals continues, the mess in our biathlon will not end.
I don’t want to seem biased towards Sveta, she is a talented athlete. Another thing is that at one time she behaved incorrectly. Having not yet achieved serious results, Sleptsova suddenly became very arrogant towards those around her. This was manifested both in relation to her teammates and to the coach of the women's team, Anatoly Khovantsev. However, she got away with everything. The previous leadership of the SBR – in particular, ex-president- for some reason they did not stop such behavior. As for the peak of her career... Let Svetlana demonstrate that her time has not passed. So far, she hasn't proven anything yet.
I know Valera Medvedtsev as a strong athlete. Apparently, he is also a good coach, because in his native Krasnoyarsk he managed to create a bright team. Dasha went through the entire pre-season training and was satisfied. However, with his decision after the selection, Medvedtsev erased all the good things that happened. My daughter is asking me now: “How is this possible, mom? Who can you trust now? - quotes Reztsova from Moscow Region Today.
Everything that happens in Russian biathlon reminds me of the movie "Groundhog Day". I'm sure you do too. Every year anti-records are updated, major starts fail, absurd decisions are made and the same ridiculous excuses are heard. And if in the first years, as a fan, this really surprised and infuriated me, now I would rather be very surprised if Svetlana Mironov (objectively the most promising Russian biathlete in terms of ski run at least) after failure in my 6th!!! race at the World Cup, they would calmly leave her on the team and concentrate on her shooting training during the break between stages. But no, once again a miracle, that is, an adequate solution did not happen, and instead of Mironova, who takes 3rd place in the total among our girls, others will prepare for the next stages: Yurlova, Akimova, Kaisheva, Slivko, Starykh, Virolainen.
And if I personally have no questions about the first three, Yurlova is stable and close to the top ten total (by the way, she was preparing for the season outside the national team, a coincidence?).
Akimova, although not stable, alternates good races with failures, but it’s clearly not in our team to waste an athlete who has been in the top ten!
Kaisheva, in any “normal” team, I’m sure, after 3 victories at the Youth World Cup in 2013, she would have been constantly called up to the national team and would have long ago become the team leader and probably already fought for victory in the World Cup (don’t believe me? then look at the names of those who were not even close to her rivals at that time - Breza, Vitozzi, Merkushina, Gasparin, Chevalier, Vishnevskaya, Rungaldier, Kummer... the list goes on... The girls whom Ulyana beat so easily then are now long-titled athletes: winners and medalists of the World Cup, World Cup stages, have already tried on the yellow bib, etc. And Kaisheva..and What about Kaisheva, every year she knocks on the door of the national team, runs one or two races and then goes on to “bury” her career at the selections.
As for the other 3 athletes, just the facts:
Slivko - 27th place - best result in 3 stages and not once!! during the course she did not enter the top 50 (apparently they are preparing her for the main start.
The old ones - it’s not even a matter of results (although everything is bad with them) but with prospects. If you are preparing for the main competition (judging by the results in December), why are you keeping an athlete on the team who is not officially going there at the moment? By the way, Mr. Kravtsov, have you submitted documents on it to CAS?
N u and Virolainen, she didn’t shine in the IBU Cup, but she’s still on the national team. I don’t even know what to say here..p.s. If Podchufarova hadn’t been killed off in the end (by the way, Dahlmeier won the 2012 Youth World Championships), then rest assured, she would have been in the lineup sooner. And Kaisheva would go to Izhevsk to prove her right to be on the team.
That's it. Oh yes, personal fans of certain athletes, don’t be angry. I respect each of them very much and I honestly feel sorry for them to be honest. After all, they will now find themselves under such pressure that the enemy will not envy them. Although they are not to blame for anything...
And who then??? Surely this is the thought that is in your head right now, reader. (kidding).
If anyone thinks that it’s all about the coaches, they are very deeply mistaken. The coaches of the national team objectively do not have the right to the last vote, and may not have a vote at all. (Just remember how the lineup for the relay and certain races at the last World Cup was formed, after which even the highly paid Gross spoke unflatteringly about the fact that they did not listen to him. If they do this with an overseas specialist, then what can we say about the Konovalovs, Noritsins and Kasperovich?
All these names are just faces. The people on the screen are trying to find excuses for decisions that most often are not made themselves. So who are these people who are secretly destroying biathlon? I agree, I’m dragging it out, you already know everything yourself. Russian biathlon is a toy in the hands of two comrades, Mr. Kravtsov and Yakushev.
They are the ones who gather coaching councils, where, based on experience, they dictate brilliant plans that coaches and athletes skilfully fail to implement. It is they (I’m sure, but aren’t you?) who decide that Kaisheva, after one unsuccessful race, is too early to join the national team. (just in case, let me remind you that Slviko has accumulated many more such places and, as we see, does not affect the prospects of being on the team. Maybe this is all due to the fact that she represents Tyumen, where Mr. Yakushev is in charge of everything? No, nonsense some.. 
Russian adult biathlon has been at a steep peak for many years: Shipulin, who works with his independent coaches, takes medals at the World Championships. In the Nations Cup, both teams are performing worse and worse, and at the main competitions, for which they prepare every year for the entire season, over the past 3 years there has been only one gold!
And why? One of the people who long years was and is one of the leaders of biathlon, he said that Baba Masha simply did not give birth. A universal explanation, don't you agree?
But for some reason I am sure that Baba Masha will not give birth. She will not give birth to anyone more talented than Kaisheva, Mironova, Vasnetsova, Pavlova, Yakushova, the same Podchufarova... this is not an exhaustive list of girls who recently won in juniors at the world championships. Because no matter how much you give birth, endless selections, “careful rolling” at second-rate starts and marinating until “victorious” at the youth level for the sake of medals and reports (at the very time when the body is still able to progress well for 20-24 years) do not allow athletes to develop . The fact that after the first attempts they are kicked out again does not allow development, thereby subjecting the athlete’s psychology to incredible pressure. It’s not for nothing that Mironova admits that she’s terribly afraid to compete in the relay, but why???
Meanwhile, our former ones, Lapshin, Frolina (not to mention Kuzmina) time after time turn out to be higher than ours in the protocol. People who, it turns out, were clearly not given birth by Grandma Masha (they didn’t even qualify for the national team) are now calmly preparing for the competitions, smiling, enjoying the races (in their words), and not trembling with the thought that they could be thrown out for any failure. start and as a result have results much higher than ours.
Here is the irony of fate: The people who should help Russian biathlon the most with their management activities, in reality, harm it the most. They do harm through the stupid organization of the entire system, egocentric strong-willed decisions and the lack of an adequate response to their own mistakes (we decide, but the coaches are to blame, so we change them every year).
With this approach, Russian biathlon the prospects are vague. Little will change until the people in the offices change. So we will read every year the same headlines and articles, in which only the names will change. And the gentlemen, the officials, will continue to put their trust in Grandma Masha, who still won’t give birth.
