The German Oberhof will host the Planetary Championship from February 8 to 19.

National team of Ukraine from biathlon announced the preliminary squads for the 2023 World Cup, which will be held next month in Oberhof, Germany.

It is reported Community Sports.

I got into the men’s application Dmytro Pidruchnyi, who is currently recovering from knee surgery. The list also included Artem Prima, Anton Dudchenko, Bohdan Tsymbal and Denys Nasyko.

Ruslan Tkalenko, Artem Tyshchenko and Taras Lesyuk will fight for the last sixth place in the application. To do this, they will perform at the IBU Cup in Obertilias, which will take place before the World Championship.

The women’s team included Olena Bilosiuk, Yulia Dzyma, Anastasia Merkushina, Anna Krivonos and Lyubov Kypyachenkova.

The last place in the application is claimed by Oleksandra Merkushina, who recently won two medals of the European Youth Olympic Winter Festival-2023 – “gold” in the sprint and “bronze” in the individual race.

At the same time, Daria Blashko will most likely miss the world championship due to inflammation of the vestibular nerve.

The 2023 Biathlon World Championship is scheduled for February 8-19 in Oberhof, Germany.

We will remind you that on January 29, the European biathlon championship in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, ended. At the continental championship, the national team of Ukraine won three medals. Julia Jima got “silver” in the women’s individual race, followed by Anton Dudchenko won “silver” in a similar discipline for men. The only gold award for our country brought Anastasia Merkushina in the sprint.
