Matvey Pawlowitsch Jelissejew ( Russian Матвей Павлович Елисеев ; English Matvey Eliseev ; born March 31, 1993 in Moscow- Zelenograd ) is a Russian biathlete . He has been competing in the Biathlon World Cup since 2015 , where he reached the podium in an individual competition for the first time in December 2019. With the relay Jelissejew won the bronze medal at the World Championships in 2019. He was also European champion in 2016 with the mixed relay and 2020 in the sprint.
Career
Matwei Jelissejew, whose first coach was his father Pawel Jelissejew, made his international debut as part of the 2014 Junior Biathlon World Championships in Presque Isle . In sprint and pursuit he achieved top ten results with the ranks five and seven, with Eduard Latypow , Iwan Alekhine and Alexander Powarnitsyn he also won the relay bronze. He achieved further successes in the junior races of the Summer Biathlon World Championships in 2014 , when he just missed a medal in the sprint in Tyumen in fourth place, which he then won in the subsequent pursuit race with bronze. The adult debut followed in the 2014/15 season in the IBU Cup , where Jelissejew made several podiums in his first winter and won his first race in the Canmore 20-kilometer individual race in March . The trainers in Nové Město na Moravě had previously appointed him to the Russian Biathlon World Cup team for the first time . In his first World Cup sprint, as 17th he immediately reached the points of the top 40.
Apart from sporadic World Cup appearances, Jelissejew also mostly competed in the IBU Cup in 2015/16 , where he won two sprint races and two individual races. In 14 of 15 starts he reached the top ten places and at the end of the season won the overall ranking ahead of the German Florian Graf . At the side of Anastassija Sagoruiko , Olga Jakuschowa and Yevgeny Garanitschew he was also European champion in the mixed relay .
From the winter of 2016/17 , Jelissejew was a permanent member of the Russian World Cup team. In the course of the season he placed in the top ten several times in individual races and reached the podium twice with the Russian quartet in the first two relay races (on the Pokljuka and in Oberhof ). As the 35th overall World Cup he was the fifth best athlete in his country in this ranking. For the 2017 World Championships he was in the squad, but received no appearances. Also in 2017/18 , Jelissejew was 38th overall and not one of the most successful Russians in the World Cup; his best individual result was a 17th place. Unlike, say, the overall World Cup Third Anton Schipulin Yeliseyev received but with the permission Olympic biathlon competitions in 2018 of Pyeongchang to go to the start. As a result of the state doping scandal, large parts of the Russian team were banned from the Olympics - Yelissejew was one of only two male biathletes in the Russian Olympic team, alongside Anton Babikov . In Pyeongchang he was 83rd in the sprint, 28th in the individual competition and 9th in the mixed relay.
At the 2019 World Championships in Östersund , Jelissejew was used in the relay and handed over to Nikita Porschnew as the starting runner while in the lead . The quartet, complemented by Dmitri Malyschko and Alexander Loginow , won the bronze medal behind Norway and Germany. In December 2019, again in Östersund, Jelissejew took one of the top three places in an individual World Cup race for the first time: behind the brothers Johannes Thingnes Bø and Tarjei Bø , he finished third in the sprint at the start of the 2019/20 season and was the only athlete in the top ten who finished the competition without a shooting error. With further regular placements in the points, Jelissejew ranked 15th in the overall ranking of the World Cup and was the second best Russian behind Loginow. He also became European sprint champion in Minsk-Raubitschy in February 2020 .
