Ekaterina Yurlova-perkht

Ekaterina Yurlova-Perkht - Russian biathlete, world champion in the individual race in 2015, Honored Master of Sports of Russia, multiple winner of the European and Russian championships. The biathlete tries to please her fans not only with victories in the sports field, but also with a charming smile.

Ekaterina Viktorovna Yurlova was born on February 23, 1985 in Leningrad. The girl was brought into sports by her father Viktor Yurlov, who later became her personal trainer. He noticed his daughter's sports talent. After Catherine mastered skiing, her father introduced her to biathlon mentor Alexander Ivanovich Suslov.

Fans call Ekaterina Yurlova the most extraordinary and creative nature of Russian biathlon. The future champion graduated with a degree in sports psychology. The knowledge acquired at the university helps her to concentrate on competitions today.

In addition, Katya speaks English. Colleagues on the Russian national team note that Yurlova communicates better than others with representatives of international organizations and athletes from other countries.

The sports biography of Ekaterina Yurlova is diluted with creativity: she writes poetry. In 2011, Katya presented a collection of poems entitled "Waiting for Spring", after which an autograph session for fans and supporters took place at the Moscow House of Books.

Ekaterina Yurlova came to biathlon in 2005. Before that, the girl was engaged in cross-country skiing. Katya took part in the European Biathlon Cup. In the 2007/2008 season for the first time entered the World Cup race. In 2009, she won a silver medal at the European Championship.

The next World Cup for Ekaterina Yurlova took place in the 2009/2010 season, the biathlete took 15th place in the sprint in Kontiolahti. The affairs of the Russian national team then went unsuccessfully, but already in the next season the miniature athlete (height 160 cm, weight 58 kg) became the second number of the team. Then rumors spread that Yurlova was doping at the time of the start of participation in the competition, but the information was not confirmed.

In the 2011/2012 season, Yurlova started from 10th place in the individual race in Ostersund. Soon her achievements could hardly be called successful; after the 7th stage of the World Cup, she had to end the international season. The biathlete did not hide her disappointment, but then she trained a lot with her father, trying not to get depressed.

In the 2012/2013 season, Yurlova's best results are 6th place in the individual race and 5th place at the mass start in Pokljuka. In 2014, Yurlova planned to participate in the Olympic Games held in Sochi.

The girl trained individually, was not part of any of the two women's teams formed to prepare Russian biathletes for the Olympic competitions. Later it turned out that this approach prevented Catherine from entering the national team. When choosing athletes, coaches focused only on team members.

On March 11, 2015, at the World Championships, Ekaterina Yurlova won the individual race in Kontiolahti. The athlete won a sensational victory, avoiding misses at a 15-kilometer distance. This is the best indicator in the tournament.

Czech biathlete Gabriela Soukalova walked exactly the distance and made 1 penalty in the last shooting. The Czech woman was already preparing for the triumph, but Ekaterina Yurlova appeared on the track, who walked perfectly on the targets. She showed good speed, and after the 4th line she won against the Czech with a difference of 28 seconds.

The athlete with this result proved that the "merits" of the previous seasons will not in any way affect the victory in the world championship. Photos of Ekaterina Yurlova have spread all over the world. That "golden finish" is still in the memory of the fans.

In the 2015/2016 season, the world champion again achieved success. At the January stage in Anterselva, the Russian biathlete became the third in the sprint, and thanks to accurate shooting at the last line and misses of her rivals, she eventually won the pursuit. On January 24, Yurlova managed to bring the Russian national team to 3rd place in the relay.

In 2016, the biathlete spoke in an interview with media representatives about the chances of getting into the Olympic team at the 2018 Games, as well as about the difficulties of recovery after giving birth. The athlete trained hard, stating that she was ready to participate in the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Fans of the biathlete actively discussed on social networks, including on Instagram, the possibility of her getting to the 2018 Winter Olympics, arguing that Catherine was able to implement her plans.

However, a special IOC commission rejected the candidacy of Yurlova-Perkht. The support of her relatives saved Catherine from depression. There was no response to a letter sent to the biathlete's committee with a request to clarify the situation.

Participation in the national championship, which took place in the spring of 2018 on the Khanty-Mansiysk track, ended successfully for Yurlova. The biathlete became the vice-champion of the sprint, losing 1st place to Ulyana Kaisheva, and the winner of the pursuit. In the summer in Nove Mesto, where the roller skiing world championship was held, Ekaterina won the gold medal in the mixed relay.

At the first stage of the 2018/2019 World Cup season in Pokljuka, Katya's performance, to put it mildly, was far from the strongest. However, already at the second stage in Hochfilzen, Ekaterina Yurlova-Perkht, after a year of "silence", returned the Russian national team to the podium, winning bronze in the sprint. Katya skipped ahead only Kaisa Mäkäräinen and the winner Dorothea Wierer.

She continued the victorious procession in the German Oberhof, winning the gold medal in the relay. Ekaterina took another prize at the World Championships in Ostersund. At the mass start, she came second. The number of points allowed the athlete to become only 14th in the overall standings of the World Cup.

The biathlete is not yet thinking of ending her career, but Ekaterina Yurlova has thought about her personal life more than once.

Katya dreamed of starting a family, but only after completing her career. She has repeatedly stated that she plans to raise children without being distracted by sports competitions. The biathlete was convinced that at first she would do everything possible in sports, after which she hoped to devote herself to her family.

However, life has put everything in its place. Ekaterina Yurlova married on October 17, 2015 to Josef Percht, masseur of the Austrian national team. Acquaintance with her future husband happened just six months before the wedding, at the world championship memorable for Catherine in Kontiolahti.

Interestingly, when Katya first noticed her future husband on the track, where he met and saw off the members of the Austrian national team, she almost crashed into a billboard. Later, at the next stage of the World Cup, young people began to communicate and quickly found a common language. The wedding took place in Austria, in the city of Ramsau, during the training period of the bride.

In November 2016, the couple had a daughter. Being pregnant, Ekaterina Yurlova continued light training in the snow to keep fit. After giving birth, the athlete gradually recovered, preparing for the competition.

In the 2019/2020 season, Yurlova-Percht started from a prize-winning place at the World Cup in Hochfilzen. The relay ended for Ekaterina with the 2nd place on the prize podium.
