Logo of the Biathlon European Championship 2008

The 15th European Biathlon Championships 2008 took place from February 20th to 24th in the Czech Nové Město na Moravě in the Vysočina Arena .

The European Championships were initially at risk because of the relatively warm weather in January, which caused the snow reserves on site to melt. However, a high pressure area brought the required weather in good time before the start of the title fights. During the competitions, however, the conditions were sometimes difficult.

Traditionally, the strong nations in the World Cup, Germany, Russia, Norway, France, Sweden but also Austria and Switzerland only sent the second contingent to the continental championships. The top athletes were in action a week earlier at the 2008 Biathlon World Championships in Östersund . Other nations let their strong athletes compete in both series of competitions. The European Championship is particularly important in Eastern Europe and the successor states of the USSR. Thus some of the elite runners were used here. The results of the European Championship were correspondingly. Some nations also use the European Championship for testing. Norway used the young Elise Ringen , who had caused a sensation at the Junior World Championships a little earlier. For the Russian team, Olga Pylewa ran for the first time after their two-year doping ban from the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin , but largely disappointed.

Thanks to their performances in the European Cup, Juliane Döll , Anne Preussler , Jenny Adler and Ute Niziak directly qualified for the disappointing German squad . In an internal elimination, Romy Beer prevailed against Tina Bachmann , but was then unable to compete, so that the starting place fell to Bachmann. In the men's category, Toni Lang and Jörn Wollschläger were placed due to their performances, and Robert Wick and Christoph Knie were added . The fifth free place was secured in an elimination race Daniel Böhm ahead of Steve Renner .

The most successful participants were the Russian Artyom Gussew for the men and the Ukrainian Oxana Jakowljewa for the women, each with two gold medals, one with the relay, and one silver. All gold medals and - apart from four silver and one bronze for Norway and Germany - all other medals went to Eastern Europe.

At the start were 12 of 12 registered squadrons. The Ukrainian relay team won the title in a superior manner after surprisingly winning the bronze medal at the World Cup a week earlier with the same line-up. Only the German relay could keep up in places. Overall, the extreme performance gap was noticeable. While some seasons, especially the Ukraine, sent their first set to the start, nominated nations like Germany or Russia the usual starters in the European Cup. Other nations like Norway added to the European Cup team after the Junior World Championship with strong juniors like Elise Ringen , who should still start in youth races. France sent a reinforced BC selection into the race, the Romanians spared all important athletes. Thus the distortion can be explained.
