Career
Batunin's first international competition was the World Cup race on February 11, 2001 in the Russian capital Moscow . He took 17th place out of 24 single-seater tobogganers who started. He did not take part in other World Cup races for a long time, but in 2004 and 2005 he started at the Junior World Championships in Kindberg and the Junior European Championships in Kandalakscha . With Vladimir Alechin in the two-seater, he achieved seventh place in Kindberg and eighth in Kandalakscha. In the single-seater Batunin took 15th place in Kandalakscha; in Kindberg he did not start in a single seater.
After an eight-year World Cup break, Batunin again took part in the two World Cup races in Novouralsk , Russia, in the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons. In the 2009/2010 season he achieved places 24 and 27 out of 29 starters each. In the next winter he was able to improve a few places with places 20 and 18 out of 32 starters each.
