Olga Gennadjewna Wiluchina ( Russian Ольга Геннадьевна Вилухина ; born March 22, 1988 in Meschgorje , Bashkir ASSR , USSR ) is a former Russian biathlete .

Career

Olga Wiluchina starts for the Central Sports Club of the Army. She ran her first junior world championship in biathlon in Presque Isle in 2006 . Although she was only 28th in the individual, she won a complete set of medals in the other races. In the sprint she won the title, in the pursuit she was third and won the silver medal in the relay. The Junior World Championships in Martell a year later were not quite as successful . Wiluchina again won the relay silver and was also among the top 15 in the other three individual races, the best result was ninth place in the pursuit race. At the European Junior Championships in Bansko , the Russian achieved only single-digit results. With the season she won the title, finished seventh in the individual and sprint and sixth in the pursuit. Further good results followed in 2008. At the Junior World Championship , Wiluchina again ran three times to single-digit places, including bronze in the relay race and fourth in the pursuit. In Nové Město na Moravě she again won the gold medal in the relay competition. For the fourth time, the Russian competed at a Junior World Championship in Canmore in 2009 . Again she won a medal with the relay, this year silver. In the sprint she was sixth and in fourth place just missed another medal in the pursuit race. The European Junior Championship at Ufa was particularly successful . Wiluchina competed in all four races, sprint, pursuit, individual and with the relay, and won the titles in all four races.

Due to the good results, Wiluchina was nominated for the last station of the 2008/09 World Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk and surprisingly came sixth in her first race. That made her the best Russian woman in the race. At the European Championships 2010 in Otepää , Wiluchina won the bronze medal in the relay competition as a starting runner with Jekaterina Jurlowa , Jekaterina Glasyrina and Jekaterina Schumilowa and was also 15th in the individual. It was only in the 2010/11 season that World Cup appearances followed; since the 2011/12 season she has been part of the Russian lineup for the World Cup and achieved several top ten results, including a repetition of her personal best with sixth place in a sprint in Hochfilzen . There she won her first World Cup race with a mixed relay, followed by another victory in the women's relay in Oberhof . In the following season , her greatest sporting success to date came with winning the bronze medal in the pursuit at the World Championships in Ruhpolding . Wiluchina achieved her best result in the overall World Cup in the 2013/14 season , where she was 5th as the best Russian.

After Wiluchina was no longer used in the World Cup from 2014, she announced the end of her career in November 2016.
