2016 UIPM BIathle world rankings
The three best performances of the athletes during the following events have been taken into consideration:
Laser-Run visited the Ukrainian capital of Kiev for the first time during a successful UIPM Laser-Run City Tour.
More than 200 athletes of all ages took part in the competition, which was held in a beautiful recreation area and covered by multiple media outlets.
The event demonstrated a keen interest in the sport among Ukrainians, especially among the youth, fulfilling the main objective of the Laser-Run City Tour to attract many a new audience to UIPM Sports.
The annual Milan Kadlec Memorial in Prague (CZE) saw a number of nationalities fighting for supremacy on a day of intense competition.
The Czech Republic junior championship took place in the beautiful environment of the capital city in a very friendly atmosphere, and 29 athletes from 10 countries took part.
Gytis Gudlevicius (LTU) was a worthy winner having led from the beginning with 258 fencing points, 1:59.84 in swimming and an aggregate shooting time of 49 seconds in Laser-Run. Marek Grycz (CZE) claimed silver on home soil ahead of Jan Kaufmann (GER) who took bronze.
The women’s Olympic champion from London 2012, Laura Asadauskaite (LTU) is sure to be podium contender in Poland as a high-class field competes for ranking points ahead of the World Cup Final in Vilnius (LTU) in June.
Also on the start line will be two silver medallist from the last Olympic Games in London 2012 and Rio 2016: Samantha Murray (GBR) and Elodie Clouvel (FRA). Other possible contenders will be Kim Sunwoo (KOR) and Annika Schleu (GER) while Anna Maliszewska (POL) is a local athlete to keep an eye on.
The 2017 UIPM World Cup season continued today with 67 athletes taking part in the qualifying round for the Women's Individual Final at World Cup IV.
Annika Schleu (GER), Kim Sunwoo (KOR), Anna Maliszewska (POL), Laura Asadauskaite (LTU) and Samantha Murray were among the pacesetters.
The Fencing Ranking Round takes place tomorrow before the other events in the Women’s Individual Final on May 27, followed by the Men’s Individual Final on May 28 and the Mixed Relay on May 29.
On day two in Drzonkow, 73 male pentathletes took part in qualifying for the Men's Individual Final, which begins tomorrow (May 27) with the Fencing Ranking Round and concludes on Sunday (May 28).
Pavlo Tymoshchenko (UKR), brothers Marvin and Patrick Dogue (GER) and local favorites Daniel Lawrynowicz and Szymon Staskiewicz (POL) were among the pacesetters.
Alice Sotero (ITA) earned herself the perfect birthday present as she took home a Women’s Individual gold medal from World Cup IV.
A day that began with Sotero (ITA) turning 26 years old ended with the Italian national anthem playing - and it was a very appropriate soundtrack because three of the ‘Azzurri’ athletes had finished in the top five.
In fact there was the possibility of an Italian clean sweep at the start of the Laser-Run, when Sotero (ITA) started 12 seconds ahead of Francesca Tognetti (ITA) and 23 ahead of Gloria Tocchi (ITA).
- Gold and silver for 21-year-old team-mates
- Dogue (GER) continues strong season with bronze
- Tymoshchenko (UKR) falls just short of 4th consecutive medal
There was a dramatic one-two for Korea in the Men's Individual Final at World Cup IV as 21-year-old duo Jun Woongtae and Lee Jihun claimed gold and silver respectively.
Jun (KOR), winner of World Cup II and a World Junior silver medal in 2016, timed his Laser-Run to perfection as he held his nerve on the range and left runners with tired legs behind him on the cross-country course in Drzonków.
- Coyle and Lanigan-O’Keeffe (IRL) leave field behind
- Germany take silver and Kazakhstan bronze
- Tributes paid to Polish hosts as World Cup regular season ends
Ireland produced another classy demonstration of Mixed Relay tactics as they won gold at World Cup IV with plenty of time to spare.
Natalya Coyle and Arthur Lanigan-O’Keeffe (IRL), both of whom finished in the top 10 in individual events at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, were taking part in their first Mixed Relay of the 2017 UIPM season but there was no evidence of rust.
The Ukrainian city of Lviv hosted an international Triathle competition on May 27 that attracted more than 200 athletes from five countries.
Participants at the Lviv sports complex were aged between 8 and 50 and represented Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Lithuania and Ukraine.
Event organiser Dmytro Bublik said: “A new sport such as Triathle allows us to not only forge pentathletes but also support the development of a sport which has mass appeal.”
