Regulations [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Several modifications concerning the regulations of the World Cup were ratified during a congress organized in Prague between 4 and September 7, 2008 by the International Union of Biathlon ^{[ first ]} . This brings out a more flexible regulation concerning the composition of the starting lists for participation in the World Cup tests. The quota system being removed, 130 biathletes can now align with an individual test, this with a maximum number of athletes per country established according to the overall performance of a country. This is how the best countries can register up to 7 representatives per test ^{[ first ]} .

In addition, the first ten biathletes of each individual event will be rewarded financially by IBU against eight before (on average 30,000 euros are distributed by test). Likewise, it is no longer the first 30 but the first 40 of each race that obtain points counting for the general classification of the World Cup and the general classification of the specialty ^{[ first ]} . The winner of a stage is therefore assigned 60 points against 50 since the 2008-2009 season.

Summary of the season [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Among men, during the start of the season, the fight for the yellow bib of the World Cup was dominated by the Norwegian duo Ole Einar Bjoerndalen – Emil Heggle Svendsen, this until the end of January, where they withdrew for Prepare the Olympic Games. In the general classification, leadership changes almost every week with the leader Christoph Sumann, Tim Burke, Evgeny Ustyugov and finally, just before the Olympic Games, Simon Fourcade. During these games, there are four different winners: Vincent Jay, Evgeny Ustyugov, Björn Ferry and Emil Heggle Svendsen. At the end of these games, one can believe in a three battle for the big crystal globe between Evgeny Ustyugov, Christoph Sumann and Emil Hegle Svendsen. It was without counting on Martin Fourcade, who exploded at the end of the season by winning three consecutive victories. The small crystal globe of the individual is easily won by Christoph Sumann. While the small crystal globe of the pursuit was promised to Simon Eder, because of his 28 ^{It is} Place during the last prosecution of the season and the victory of Martin Fourcade, the latter manages to win the little globe of crystal in question. Emil Heggle Svendsen triumphs in the general classification.

Among the ladies, the first half of the season was dominated by the Swedish duo Helena Jonsson – Anna Carin Olofsson -Zidek, with great regularity among the leading peloton (7 podiums including 4 victories for Jonsson, 4 podiums including 2 victories For Olofsson-Zidek). Thus, Jonsson, on the momentum of his large crystal globe acquired on the wire against Kati Wilhelm the previous season, outrageously dominated the world ranking. But a drop in form, marked in particular by a zero pointed at the games, will cause a rise in its main opponents, among which is Magdalena Neuner, double Olympic champion (the other 2 individual titles having been won by Anastasiya Kuzmina and Tora Berger) , which will take advantage of this Swedish hole (which will only go back on an individual podium during the penultimate world test, the Sprint of Khanty-Mansiïsk) to seize the first place in the world. And if she is worried at the end of the season by her compatriot Simone Hauswald, author of a Hat-Trick during the Oslo-Holmenkollen stage, she provides her second big crystal globe during the last stage. It also wins the small globes of the pursuit and the Mass-Start, while Hauswald wins that of the sprint and Olofsson-Zidek that of the individual.
