Jan Ziemianin (born May 19, 1962 in Mszana Dolna ) is a former Polish biathlete . He competed in many biathlon world championships and three Olympic winter games .

Jan Ziemianin was a sports soldier and lives in Koscielijko . The father of three, who competed for WKS Zakopane , competed in biathlon from 1979 to 1999. He contested his first biathlon World Cup race in Borowez in 1987 and was 29 in his first individual race. His first world championship was held in Feistritz in 1988 and was there 42 in the individual and 26th in the sprint. The Pole started his first Olympic Games in Albertville . In the individual he came in 32nd place, in the sprint he was 29th and with the relay (with Dariusz Kozłowski , Jan Wojtas and Krzysztof Sosna ) ninth. In 1993 he achieved his best World Cup placement as eleventh of an individual on the later Olympic course. Ziemianin's fluctuating performance was exemplified when he finished 110th in the same place in the following sprint.

Ziemianins second Olympic Games took place in 1994 held in Lillehammer. In the individual he came in 39th place, in the sprint he was 27th and eighth with the relay ( Tomasz Sikora , Wiesław Ziemianin , Jan Wojtas). The 1997 biathlon world championships in Osrblie were particularly successful for Ziemianin . He was only 46th in the individual and 55th in the sprint, he came in sixth place in the relay and won the bronze medal in the team competition together with Wiesław Ziemianin, Tomasz Sikora and Wojciech Kozub behind the teams from Belarus and Germany. A final highlight was the Olympic Games in 1998 from Nagano where Ziemianin was now only used at the age of 36 years in the season, and this reached a very good fifth place. After the 1998/99 season he ended his career.

Today Ziemianin works as a biathlon trainer in Poland.
