Competitions
The 2014 Summer Biathlon World Championships were the first international competitions to be held in Tyumen. Two years later, the 2016 European Biathlon Championships followed , which were held as part of the 2015/16 IBU Cup .
The first World Cup races were to be held in Tyumen in the winter of 2016/17 . In connection with the revelations of the second McLaren Report , the Russian Biathlon Federation returned the organization of the World Cup in Tyumen to the IBU at the turn of the year 2016/17 . The competitions were then held in Kontiolahti , Finland . Since Tyumen was to take over the competitions in Khanty-Mansiysk for a longer period of time , races as part of the biathlon world cup were planned for March 2018. Although athlete representatives and individual nations called for the World Cup event planned for 2018 in Russia to be withdrawn, the IBU stuck to the organization, and a final decision in favor of the competitions in Tyumen was made on February 14, 2018.
The Canadian Biathlon Association had already announced in December that it would not send its athletes to competitions in Russia, neither to the World Cup nor to the IBU Cup . At the end of February 2018, the Czech and US associations announced that they would be boycotting the competitions. The German Ski Association stuck to participation in the World Cup in Tyumen, DSV President Franz Steinle ruled out a general boycott. The Ukrainian Federation stayed away from the competitions , as did the two-time Swedish Olympic medalist Sebastian Samuelsson .
The world championships planned for 2021 were only awarded to Tyumen after the McLaren Report became known. Due to pressure from the public and from many active athletes, the IBU asked the Russian Biathlon Federation to voluntarily refrain from hosting the competitions. However, this was refused by the Russian association, and legal action was to be considered against a unilateral withdrawal by the IBU. At the beginning of March 2017, the IBU announced that the World Cup had been withdrawn from Russia and that it would be re-awarded at a 2018 congress.
