Shortly after the World Championships, Iwaschka ran 12th of an individual in Novosibirsk on his best individual result in the World Cup. The highlight of 1998 was his participation in the Summer Biathlon World Championships , where he narrowly missed a medal with Ajdarow, Ryschenkow and Saschurin in fourth place. In 1999 Iwaschka started again at a World Cup. These were initially held in Kontiolahti in accordance with the award , but some competitions had to be relocated to Oslo on the Holmenkollen due to the weather .
