Career

Dmitri Yaroshenko has been practicing biathlon since 1987. The officer in the Russian army made his debut in the World Cup at the end of the 1998/1999 season at Holmenkollen in Oslo . It reached 66th place and was not used for a long time. It only started again in the World Cup at the end of the 2002/2003 season, but it has only been used regularly since the 2005/2006 season. With the relay, Yaroshenko was European champion in Novosibirsk in 2005 , and the year before, he was runner-up in singles at the European Championships in Minsk . He won the European biathlete cup in the 2005/2006 season.

His breakthrough to the top of the world came at the beginning of the 2006/2007 season when, after finishing 13th in the Östersund individual race, he achieved two second places behind Ole Einar Bjørndalen in sprint and pursuit. At the Biathlon World Championships 2007 in Antholz, he was world champion with the Russian relay. He also won the Pursuit World Cup at the end of the 2006/2007 season .

The 2007/2008 season began for Yaroshenko with a tragic mishap: In the first race of the season, the individual race in Kontiolahti, he shot the wrong targets in the second prone shooting. Despite five hits, he was legally added five penalty minutes, so that he finished the race in 82nd place. The next two races, in which he finished second and third, were much more successful. At the next World Cup station in Hochfilzen, he finally succeeded in the sprint race, in which he had the fastest running time, the first World Cup victory of his career. On December 29, 2007, he and his partner Jekaterina Jurjewa won the World Team Challenge in the Veltins-Arena. At the 2008 World Championships , Yaroshenko again won the gold medal with the Russian relay. He was also able to take third place with the mixed relay. The same mishap as in the individual in Kontiolahti happened to him in the last sprint race of the season on Holmenkollen, he was ranked 96th and last instead of fifth. By means of three doping tests on December 3rd, 4th and 5th, 2008 he was convicted of abusing rEPO and in February 2009 at the same time as Albina Achatowa and Jekaterina Jurjewa, first provisionally and finally in August for two years until December 3rd, 2010, banned . Yaroshenko continued to train and became active again after the suspension expired. At first he took part in races of the IBU Cup with moderate success and returned to a World Cup competition in mid-January 2011 in an individual in Ruhpolding. He only reached the 68th place. and was not used again in the World Cup afterwards.

Yaroshenko grew up in Jelisowo on the Russian peninsula of Kamchatka . Today he lives in Novosibirsk, where he starts for Dinamo Novosibirsk and is coached by Valery Sakharov. Yaroshenko is married to the Russian (summer) biathlete and runner-up world champion Marina Yaroshenko .
