Uiloq Helgesen Slettemark , b. Heilmann (born August 6, 1965 in Varde , Denmark ) is a Greenland biathlete and cross-country skier .
life and career
Uiloq Slettemark is the daughter of the Greenland school rector Isak Peter Kreutzmann Mikael Heilmann (1935–2013) and the Danish artist Astri Marie Helgesen (1934–1991). Her father was a grandson of Johannes Kreutzmann (1862–1940) on his mother's side and thus a great-grandson of Jens Kreutzmann (1828–1899).
Uiloq Slettemark was the most successful biathlete in her country in the 2000s. Her husband Øystein Slettemark is also a Greenlandic biathlete. She is also general secretary and he is president of Grønlands Biathlon Forbund and competes for Nuuk Biathlon . Both live in Nuuk and have three children, including their daughter Ukaleq Astri , who is coached by her and who became World Youth Champion in singles in 2019 . She has been running biathlon since 1999 and has been part of the Greenland national team since then.
In 2000 Slettemark made her debut in the Biathlon World Cup in Hochfilzen as 82nd of an individual . After her results were all between 80th and 90th, she was able to record a jump in performance in 2001 in a sprint in Oberhof with 64th place. In Pokljuka she also took part for the first time at the Biathlon World Championships in 2001 and was 81 in both individual and sprint. In the following period, the results were fluctuating, ranging from 100 in Pokljuka to 46 in Östersund . Since 2003, the Greenlander has repeatedly competed in the European Biathlon Cup , where she achieved comparatively better results; in 2003 she was 19th in a sprint in Ridnaun . Slettemark achieved the best World Cup result as 40th in a sprint in Lahti . In the individual race at the Biathlon World Championships in 2003 in Khanty-Mansiysk , she took a good 55th place, in the sprint race an even better 48th place. The world championships in 2004 in Oberhof, 2005 in Hochfilzen and 2007 in Antholz brought her less good results. In the World Cup, Slettemark's results became noticeably worse. Since 2013 she has only competed in races very sporadically, and only in the second-rate IBU Cup . Most recently she took part in the two sprint competitions of the IBU Cup in Duszniki-Zdrój in the 2018/19 season.
In addition, Slettemark is also active as a cross-country skier for Denmark. Nine times - from 1999 to 2005, 2007 and 2008 - she won the 160-kilometer Arctic Circle Race on Greenland. By 2017, she made another five second places in this race. She made her debut in an official FIS race in November 1998 as the 24th over 10 kilometers in Beitostølen . Already in December she reached the top ten in tenth place over 5 kilometers and advanced to the Continental Cup, where she was 18th in a 10 kilometer race in Lillehammer . She competed in four races at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Ramsau in 1999 . The best result was a 45th place over 15 kilometers. In the cross-country skiing world cup , the Greenlander competed in Lamoura Mouthe for the first time in 2000 in a 50-kilometer race, where she was 35th. Shortly afterwards, she achieved her best result in fifth in a 10-kilometer FIS race. Her second Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahti in 2001 brought less good results than in 1999. After that, she seldom competed in cross-country skiing and concentrated on biathlon.
