History of the creation of the best biathlon center of the country
The regional (Krasnoyarsk) state autonomous sports institution is the Biathlon Academy.
Krasnoyarsk has a rich history in terms of biathlon development in this region.
In September 2006, it was decided to create a biathlon base. In 2007, a project began to be created, and in 2011, in December, the Academy already opened, which eventually became the best complex in Russia.
In general, biathlon in the region began its development in 1957. At that time, a young officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, B. M. Ivanov, began to master the methods and tactics of the race with firing from a military rifle at a 20-kilometer distance.
In 1959, when he was transferred to the escort regiment, he created a sports team with the name Dynamo. Moreover, support was given to these athletes by their commander, Colonel Mashkin, in shooting training - I. G. Zazulin, and in ski training - V. F. Pereverzin.
B. M. Ivanov himself is the first master of sports in biathlon in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, in 1965 he was awarded the title "Honorary Master of Sports", and in 1959-1970 he was one of the country's strongest biathletes.
The year 1964 was marked by the holding of the RSFSR skiing and biathlon championships in Krasnoyarsk, and literally a year later the biathlon relay race was held for the first time.
A few years before the emergence of such an excellent training center as the Biathlon Academy (Krasnoyarsk), the first steps were taken. This happened in 2006, after the athletes of the Krasnoyarsk Territory returned with good results from the Olympics in Turin, which was the third in a row for Russian athletes.
