Yevgeny Alexandrowitsch Garanitschew ( Russian Евгений Александрович Гараничев ; born February 13, 1988 in Novoiljinsky , Perm Oblast ) is a Russian biathlete who celebrated success as a cross-country skier at the beginning of his career .
Garanitschew was 2008 Junior World Champion with the Russian cross-country skiing relay and switched to biathlon in the same year. In 2011 he made his debut in the Biathlon World Cup , where he won an individual race for the first time in 2012. In the following years he placed in the top three in several competitions and won the bronze medal in the 20-kilometer individual race at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. In 2016 and 2017 he was three-time European champion.
Athletic career
Beginnings as a cross-country skier and first successes in the biathlon world cup (until 2012)
Garanitschew grew up in Perm Oblast and began his career as a cross-country skier . As such, he competed in several FIS races and took part in the Nordic Junior World Championships in Tarvisio in 2007 and in Mals in 2008 . In 2007 he won the silver medal as the third runner in the 4 × 5 kilometer relay. The following year he was ninth in the 20-kilometer race in free style and won the gold medal with the relay - on the side of Andrei Feller, Pyotr Sedov and Raul Shakirsyanov . On the advice of Russian biathlon head coach Vladimir Alikin , Garanitschew switched from special cross-country skiing to biathlon in 2008 at the age of 20 and moved to the Siberian Tyumen because of the better training conditions there .
Garanitschew celebrated his first international success as a biathlete by winning the bronze medal in the sprint on roller skis at the junior competitions of the 2009 Summer Biathlon World Championships in Oberhof . With good results in national competitions (including a bronze medal at the Russian Championships in 2010 ), he qualified for the IBU Cup . In January 2011, he won two competitions in the second highest international biathlon racing series: In the sprint of Nové Město , after a race without shooting errors, he placed ahead of the German Toni Lang , a week later he beat his teammate Viktor Wassiljew in the pursuit in Altenberg . In the same month Garanitschew made his debut in the Biathlon World Cup and ran in Antholz as 13th of the sprint in his first World Cup race in the points, and he came in fourth with the Russian relay. In the further course of the season he won three medals at the Winter Universiade 2011 , including silver in the mixed relay and bronze in the sprint and pursuit.
In the 2011/12 season Garanitschew mostly competed in the World Cup. As the third-best Russian, he placed twelfth in the overall standings and reached the top ten places in nine individual races. Garanitschew contested his most successful races of the winter in February 2012 at Holmenkollen in Oslo , where he won the sprint 0.7 seconds ahead of Arnd Peiffer and finished third in the pursuit and in the mass start. At the World Championships in Ruhpolding , he achieved ninth place in the mass start as the best individual result. As the third runner in the Russian World Cup relay, Garanitschew took over the race in the leading group, was the only athlete on his team to score a penalty loop and lost a total of one minute on the top. The season finished in sixth place.
Establishment in the extended world elite (2012 to 2016)
From 2012 to 2016 Garanitschew was in the top three of a World Cup race at least once in each season, but did not win any further individual competition. In the overall standings he reached seventh place twice - 2014/15 and 2015/16 - and was the second strongest Russian biathlete behind Anton Schipulin . Garanichev did not win a medal at world championships, but was third in the 20-kilometer individual race at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi . He made a mistake in this competition and ended up being 34.5 seconds behind the victorious Frenchman Martin Fourcade . For the Russian biathletes, Garanitschew's bronze was the first medal at the Winter Games in front of a home audience and remained the only medal in an individual competition. In January 2015 Garanitschew missed a World Cup victory in the pursuit of Antholz by just one second: Having started from second position, he led the competition for a long time. On the final lap he ran with Simon Schempp , Simon Eder and Ole Einar Bjørndalen and was beaten by Schempp and Eder in the final sprint.
In relay races Garanitschew's record was mixed. Although he won five World Cup races for himself between 2013 and 2016 with the Russian team - in which he regularly ran in one of the top positions. At world championships he also remained in the team without a medal. Shooting errors regularly prevented Garanitschew's better placements: in 2013, 2015 and 2016, he was the only athlete from the Russian quartet to shoot penalties. Also in the Olympic mixed relay 2014 Garanitschew showed by all Russian starters the weakest shooting performance and was then in the men's relay (won the gold) by Alexei Volkov replaced.
Medals at European Championships (since 2016)
At the home European championships in 2016 in Tyumen Garanichev won the gold medal in the sprint and mixed relay (together with Anastassija Sagoruiko , Olga Jakuschowa and Matwei Jelissejew ) and the silver medal in the pursuit. He also took part successfully in the European Championships in the following two years: in 2017 he ran in Duszniki-Zdrój with Darja Wirolainen to gold in the single mixed relay and also to silver in the pursuit; In 2018 he won silver in the mixed relay and bronze in the pursuit in Ridnaun. At the same time, Garanitschew remained an integral part of the Russian World Cup team, in which he became the longest-serving athlete after Anton Schipulin resigned in 2018. In the 2016 to 2020 seasons, third place at the Nové Město mass start in December 2018 was Garanitschew's only podium result in an individual World Cup race. In the respective World Cup overall rankings, he occupied positions between 15th and 32nd place. With the relay, he won another World Cup race in Oberhof in January 2019 and had no shooting errors.
Like most of the Russian biathlon team, Garanichev was not approved for the 2018 Winter Olympics by the International Olympic Committee as a result of the state doping scandal . In the World Cup, he and his teammates could continue to start without restrictions.
Personal
Garanitschew married his long-time girlfriend in 2013 and is the father of two sons (* 2016; * 2018).
