Career

The Russian Anna Bulygina was a very successful junior athlete. At the junior world championships in 2002, 2003 and 2005, the police officer was twice world champion with the relay (2003 and 2005) and in the pursuit (2005). There are also vice world championships in all three sprint competitions of the Junior World Championships, plus a victory in the sprint and third place in the pursuit at the Junior European Championships 2005 in Novosibirsk . Bulygina made her debut due to injuries and pregnancies of several other athletes in the Russian biathlon team in the Junior Biathlon European Cup in the 2005/06 season . In Novosibirsk she won the sprint race and came third in the pursuit. She then ran several races in the European Biathlon Cup without achieving any results worth mentioning. In the biathlon world cup she made her debut at the first world cup of the 2006/07 season . In the very first race she was able to advance to the top of the world and finished ninth. With the Russian relay, Bulygina came second in Hochfilzen . At the Biathlon World Championships 2007 in Antholz , the Russian was used in two races. In the sprint she reached 19th place, in the pursuit she lost 10 places. At the season finale in Khanty-Mansiysk , Bulygina achieved her best result of the season in fourth in the mass start race. She finished the season in 31st place overall. In the following season Bulygina was not used in the World Cup. Here she could start again in the 2008/09 season . In Antholz , Bulygina repeated her best position up to then, fourth place, in a sprint. The Russian woman surprisingly won the following hunting race in the finish sprint against Kaisa Mäkäräinen and Darja Domratschawa . Several weeks earlier she won her first World Cup race in Hochfilzen with the relay of Russia, but the victory was later revoked because of doping offenses of other Russian starters. She achieved her greatest success to date by winning the world championship gold medal at the 2009 Biathlon World Championships in Pyeongchang , also in the relay competition.

Since she had no chance of a place in the Russian national team, she moved to South Korea in 2015 .
