Nikolay Kruglov

Biathlon is traditionally one of the top favorite sports among Russian fans. This is influenced by both the spectacularity of the winter starts and the glorious traditions that shooting athletes from Russia laid down with many years of victories on the track. Nikolay Kruglov - Jr. belongs to those athletes who have achieved high results in their careers. Silver medalist of the Olympics, multiple world champion, a man defended the country's flag in the 2000s, becoming a strong link in the national team that knew how to win.

Biathlete Kruglov became the second Nikolai in the family. And also the second biathlete, since his father Nikolai Kruglov, the elder, is a renowned veteran of Soviet sports, who has 2 Olympic golds and 3 highest awards of the world championships. In 2007, the man became an honorary citizen of Nizhny Novgorod, the city where he lived all his life. By the time of the birth of his son in 1981, the athlete had already begun coaching, so it is not surprising that Kolya got up early on skis. This happened when he was 2 years old.

As a child, the boy was also seriously interested in table tennis, but high-speed winter races took up. In middle school, Kruglov began to study at a sports school and showed good results, and in the final year, under the guidance of his father, he became the champion of Russia in cross-country skiing among juniors. Mom Galina Alexandrovna supported her son in his hobbies. Nikolai's sister was engaged in rhythmic gymnastics.

Despite his successes in sports, the guy did not forget about education. In an interview, the biathlete admitted that due to financial difficulties in his youth, he was afraid to seriously count on sports and was preparing himself a "safety cushion".

Therefore, I decided to get the profession of a lawyer at the Nizhny Novgorod Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Nikolai says that he studied not for show, but seriously, and will now answer any question on criminal law without hesitation.

Subsequently, Kruglov continued his education at the Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and at the Academy of Civil Service. The man has the rank of police major. He paid a lot of attention to learning languages, so he speaks fluent English and knows German well.

In an interview, Nikolai said that he preferred biathlon to cross-country skiing because of the entertainment and unpredictability. Dynamics and drive are what the athlete likes. Having made the decision in 1999 to take up a rifle, the young man moved to Khanty-Mansiysk - the city where the youth team of shooting skiers is based. There Kruglov trains with his father and Valery Zakharov.

The first international junior competitions brought success: he twice became champion in Europe and vice-champion at the world level. After this, the promising athlete was included in the main composition of the Russian national team, for which he began to compete in 2002.

The debut season did not work out, and the young man took places in the second ten at best. However, by the end of the World Cup, he manages to climb to 4th place in the sprint, and to earn silver in the men's relay. Since then, Nikolay has become a reliable team player, and the most significant career achievements will be achieved in collective races. Although it was not without personal achievements: in the 2003/2004 season, the biathlete becomes the vice-champion of 2 pursuit races, and in the other - the bronze medalist.

Kruglov takes his first personal medal of the highest dignity in the 2005 pursuit in Pokljuka, Slovenia. At the same starts, he manages to take gold in the relay. The 2005/2006 season becomes the most successful in his career: the athlete enters the prestigious top ten in the overall standings of the World Cup, taking 8th place there. For 2 years in a row, Nikolai was the triumphant of the mixed relay just introduced into the regulations of the world championships and the only Russian to win this discipline twice.

In 2006, together with Ivan Tcherezov, Sergei Chepikov and Pavel Rostovtsev, Kruglov managed to take the silver medal at the Turin Olympics, running the crucial final stage. For the next 2 years, men will not be equal in relay races at the World Championships, and both times Nikolay will contribute to the victory. In the seasons 2006/2007 and 2007/2008, the biathlete is still in the top 10 World Cups, winning prizes in individual races.

The main drama in a sports biography happened in 2010 at the Vancouver Olympics. Against the background of high competition in the national team, the athlete got the opportunity to participate in only one type of competition - the individual 20 km race. Having shot without a single miss on 4 lines, Kruglov showed decent speed, but fell and damaged the rifle mount, which is why he was forced to finish with a weapon in his hand, eventually taking the 11th line. After the sad event, he announced the end of his biathlon career.

Having achieved success in big sports, the man gained financial independence. Then he bought out his father's medals, which he once sold to give his son the opportunity to perform at the highest level. The veteran without hesitation parted with two Olympic gold medals, and grateful Nikolai considered it necessary to return this debt to his father.

Little is known about the biathlete's personal life; he himself does not like to spread about it, preferring to talk about sports and professional achievements. On the Instagram page, Nikolai posts photos from work and places of rest, but pictures of his wife and children cannot be found there. It is known that Kruglov was previously married, his wife's name was Julia.

Judging by information from social networks, in 2019 a man meets with Daria Kazakovtseva, on whose Instagram romantic shots with a former athlete regularly appear. He also prefers to demonstrate numerous hobbies in his account: hockey, sailing regattas, alpine skiing, travel and cars. Thanks to an active lifestyle, the famous biathlete remains in shape: with a height of 180 cm, his weight is 75 kg.

After finishing his career in biathlon, Nikolay began working at the Nizhny Novgorod Ski Federation, and then moved to the regional Ministry of Sports and Youth Policy. Since 2014, Kruglov's activities have changed dramatically: the man became a manager at UTair, responsible for the company's public and corporate relations.
