Evgeny Ustyugov

Evgeny Ustyugov is a bright representative of the legendary Krasnoyarsk biathlon school, which has produced more than one generation of talented athletes. He came to this sport, by his own admission, after listening to the stories of his parents that there are weapons there, and Eugene and his brother, as men, will have to defend their homeland.

Evgeny Ustyugov was born in Krasnoyarsk on June 4, 1985. Parents are honored masters of sports. Under their leadership, little Zhenya started skiing. In addition, the boy loved rock climbing.

Eugene switched to biathlon at the age of 12. During his school years, he participated in all sports activities. During one of the competitions in 1997, Ustyugov was singled out by the wife of Viktor Ivanovich Ermakov, a famous biathlon coach, and invited the guy to pay attention to this exciting sport.

After leaving school, Evgeny Ustyugov wanted to enter the Pedagogical University at the Faculty of Physical Education, but he did not succeed. Then the future athlete chose the Divnogorsk School of the Olympic Reserve. After studying for a year, Zhenya joined the ranks of students at the Siberian State Technological University, where after a while he transferred to the Faculty of Forestry. In 2010 he received a diploma.

Eugene met his future wife in 2003 at a sports training camp. Alexandra Bondareva studied at the same Krasnoyarsk biathlon academy as her husband. Zhenya considers Sasha a happy talisman, because after the wedding in 2009, in addition to changes in his personal life, his sports biography began to progress. Before marriage, Ustyugov was an ordinary biathlete, and after that he became an Olympic champion.

Alexandra showed great promise in sports, but in the end she decided to devote herself to her family.

On September 20, 2010, the Ustyugovs had a daughter, Veronica. It was after the birth of the daughter of the husband of the famous biathlete that she completed her professional career. At the age of 3, her parents put the girl on skis and hope that they will raise an athlete. Whether Veronica will follow in her father's footsteps, Eugene is not sure, but he will not dissuade. Asks for advice - will prompt, no - "let him think with his own head." What it will definitely not do is not force and prohibit.

On January 17, 2014, Alexandra gave Evgeny a second daughter, Ksenia. On the first autumn day of 2016, there were three children in the family - a long-awaited son appeared.

On Instagram, many pages are named after the athlete, but they have nothing to do with Ustyugov. Fans are happy to share photos with Eugene in their personal accounts if they manage to catch the champion at any events.

Eugene is considered the brother of Sergei Ustyugov, although they are only namesakes. Men are distinguished by the difference in height (for the first - 168 cm, for the second - 184 cm) and specialization: Sergey is a ski racer. The athletes are familiar, and when Sergey won the TOUR DE SKI in 2017, Eugene was overwhelmed with congratulations, believing that he was back on the track.

During his studies, Ustyugov repeatedly took part in international biathlon competitions, which were held in different countries.

In Finland, in 2005, Evgeniy took 12th place in the individual race. In 2006, at the World Championships in Presque Isle (USA), Ustyugov is the leader in the individual race, second in the relay and fourth in the sprint. Soon, the biathlete becomes the owner of the first awards of international junior competitions - gold in the European Championship and silver in the World Championship.

In the 2006/2007 season at competitions in Europe, the Russian athlete took 12th place in the sprint and 2nd prize in the pursuit race. At the European Championships, which was held in the Bulgarian city of Bansko, he became 20th in pursuit and sprint, 5th in the team relay.

In the 2008/2009 season, Evgeny joined the senior Russian national team, took part in the Russian Izhevsk Rifle tournament, where he won 2nd place, losing to the winner Andrei Dubasov by 39 seconds. In the spring of 2008, Ustyugov took part in the national team of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in the Russian biathlon championship.

At the end of 2008, Evgeny Ustyugov earned his first victory in the European Cup, breaking a 10-kilometer sprint without a single miss. At the beginning of 2009, Eugene made his debut at the World Cup, which was held in Oberhof. Here he finished 8th in the sprint and 7th in the pursuit.

In 2010, biathlete Evgeny Ustyugov took part in the Vancouver Olympic Games. The athlete did not rise above 15th place in the pursuit and sprint, but became the leader in the mass start, where he received his first Olympic gold medal.

In March 2011, the Olympic champion took the honorable 1st place in the World Team Challenge race. In December of the same year, the Russian men's biathlon team won silver medals in the 4x7.5 km relay at the second stage of the World Cup in Hochfilzen (Austria). The team Yevgeny was running for finished in 2nd position, 14 seconds behind the Norwegian national team.

The experimental composition of the Russian team turned out to be very combat-ready, since until the last frontier, biathletes from the Russian Federation were constantly in the lead.

In 2013, a trip to the Czech Republic for the Biathlon World Championships ended in complete failure. Ustyugov did not manage to compete for the gold medals of the world championship in the sprint race for 10 kilometers with two firing lines. Due to a fall on a steep descent, the Russian finished 30th with a head injury.

On January 23, 2013, at a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Russian Olympic Committee, the composition of the Russian national biathlon team at the Sochi Olympics was approved. Alexander Loginov, Dmitry Malyshko, Anton Shipulin, Evgeny Garanichev, Alexey Volkov and Evgeny Ustyugov successfully represented Russia at the main sporting event of the four years.

And if the individual races, as well as the pursuit and mass start did not bring significant results to Ustyugov, then the real achievement for him was the men's relay, which ended with the victory of the Russian team. The second place went to the team from Germany. The biathlete managed to once again visit the top of the champions' podium.

Eugene ended his career in 2014. The final entry to the ski track was the race of champions for Ustyugov, organized in Moscow in the Olympic Stadium. Martin Fourcade also took part in the competition.

Fans actively discussed the unexpected decision of the famous biathlete, putting forward their versions. Many sports observers, in turn, said that the prize-winner had not been able to reach the previous level after Vancouver.

Eugene himself explained his decision to tie up with "shooting races" by certain circumstances that influenced his participation in tournaments.

According to Ustyugov, he lived outside the home for 10 months every year, and serious injuries did not allow him to fully realize himself in the professional field.

For sporting achievements, biathlete Evgeny Ustyugov was awarded the Order of Friendship.

In 2018, a doping scandal overtook the non-competitive biathlete. Ustyugov, Svetlana Sleptsova and two Aleksandrov, Chernyshov and Pechenkin, were suspected of using illegal drugs.

According to the President of the Russian Biathlon Union Vladimir Drachev, the statement of the International Union refers to a period of 4-10 years ago. Moreover, the publication of the IBU's claim strangely coincided with a meeting of the congress of this organization, at which the issue of returning Russia the right to vote and holding international competitions was decided.

As noted by sports observers, such demarches over the past 5 years have been "miscalculated" and have already become boring. Evgeny himself said that he did not know the details of the accusation, but he was sure that they were based on the statements of the same Grigory Rodchenkov, a former employee of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory, hiding in the United States.

In addition, the RBU, according to the former athlete, does not help in any way in resolving the situation. In an official press release, Ustyugov said that he had applied for support directly to the leaders of Sergei Kushchenko and Mikhail Prokhorov. All this looked strange, if only because the Biathlon Union at that time was headed by Drachev. The latter responded to the claims that he had not talked with Yevgeny about either financial or legal assistance.

If the accusations are confirmed, Ustyugov may be left without gold in the Vancouver Olympics, which made French biathlete Martin Fourcade very happy. In this case, the medal will go to him, although the former rival does not feel the pleasure of receiving the award in this way.

In the fall of 2018, the head of the Russian Biathlon Union expressed confidence in the defense arguments that the IBU intends to present. The international union has no facts, except for the words of Rodchenkov. And during all this time, as the vice-president of the SBR Sergei Chepikov said, Evgeny did not even call.

The increased interest in doping tests of the Russian athlete arose at the beginning of the year. But then the matter was hushed up, and, as the Championat.com portal wrote, both sides "relaxed", but it would not be possible to delve into the details and build a defense. I had to solve the issue in an emergency mode.

Fans are interested in what the famous biathlete is doing now. The two-time Olympic champion has already mastered the "civil" life. Evgeny holds the position of Deputy Chairman of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Branch of the Dynamo Society, where he builds relationships with the media and other organizations.

In addition, he oversees the work of the biathlon academy. The plans of the Krasnoyarsk sports officials are to obtain sports facilities of the highest category for the academy and the regional center, which give the right to host the world championships and, possibly, the Olympic Games.

In 2019, the investigation into the doping cases of Russian Olympic champions Svetlana Sleptsova and Evgeny Ustyugov, initiated by specialists from the International Biathlon Union (IBU), continued.

On the eve of 2020, German biathlete Arnd Peiffer expressed skepticism about the ongoing investigation. According to the athlete, the moment when the German national team could become the Olympic champion at the 2014 Games has already been missed. Nevertheless, the biathlete does not exclude the possibility of transferring gold medals even after several years.

2009 - silver medal at the European Championships 2010 - gold and bronze medals at the 2011 Vancouver Olympics - 2 silver medals at the 2011 World Championships - silver medal at the European Championships 2014 - gold medal at the Sochi Olympics
