Roman Andrijonowitsch Pryma ( Ukrainian Роман Андрійович Прима ; born November 6, 1981 in Chernihiw , Ukrainian SSR , USSR ) is a former Ukrainian biathlete .

The married sports soldier Roman Pryma has been practicing biathlon since 1995. He is trained by Olexandr Wortschak and has been a member of the Ukrainian national team since 2000. Internationally he made his debut in 1999 at the Junior World Championships in Pokljuka , where he was 67th in the sprint. Things went better a year later at the Junior European Championships in Zakopane . He won bronze in the sprint and was seventh in the pursuit and fifth in the relay. The world championships in Hochfilzen were also more successful. Here he reached a sixth place in the individual. At the beginning of the next season, Pryma made his debut in the biathlon world cup . In Hochfilzen he reached an 80th place in the sprint. The European Junior Championships in Haute-Maurienne brought at the end of the 2000/01 season no placement in the top 10 ranks. In 2001 Pryma was also used for the first time - and so far for the only time - at the biathlon world championships and was thirteenth with the relay in Pokljuka. The season finale was the Junior World Championships in Khanty-Mansiysk , where he was eighth in the individual, eleventh in the sprint, fifth in the pursuit and ninth in the relay.

In the following season 2001/02 Pryma was often used in the World Cup, but could not achieve any World Cup points. But the season with the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City brought one of Pryma's career highlights. In Soldier Hollow , he finished 76th in the sprint and seventh in the relay. At the subsequent European Championships in Kontiolahti , Pryma won the relay silver behind the German team with Oleksandr Bilanenko , Vyacheslav Derkatsch and Ruslan Lyssenko . In 2003 Pryma was able to collect World Cup points for the first time in Ruhpolding as 21st in the sprint. A year later he achieved a new best place in the sprint in 18th place in the same place. In the same season he achieved fifth place in Kontiolahti with the relay as the best placement. It should take until 2008 that Pryma came in fifth in an individual in Hochfilzen for the first time in the top ten.

His brother Artem Pryma is also a successful biathlete.
