Valeriya Vasnetsova

Russian biathlete Valeria Vasnetsova is still a very young athlete, but hard training and the instructions of the coaches helped the girl achieve excellent results. Today she is a two-time world champion in biathlon among juniors, and also bears the title of Master of Sports of Russia.

Valeria was born in the spring of 1997 in the Udmurt city of Mozhga. Since childhood, the girl has been an active child, but for a long time she could not find something to her liking. For some time Lera was engaged in dancing, and then she tried herself in music, but this did not inspire her. The right path for Vasnetsova was suggested by the physical education teacher, who, noticing the athletic abilities of the student, suggested taking up biathlon and was right.

As the biathlete later admitted in an interview, from the first training sessions she realized that she had found her calling. Studying in the 2nd grade, she seriously approached each workout and always listened carefully to the first coach, he was Alexey Fedorovich Korotaev. Under his strict guidance, the girl trained until the 9th grade, and then entered the Izhevsk biathlon school, where she regularly attended classes until she received a school certificate.

After receiving a certificate in the Vasnetsov family circle, they decided to enter the girl in the Tchaikovsky State Institute of Physical Culture, which became the reason for her moving to the Perm Territory. There, a significant event for Lera took place - an acquaintance with Karintsev Innokenty Aleksandrovich, who later began to train the athlete.

As the trainer later said, he immediately saw potential in the girl and at the first meeting realized that she was a professional in her field and was set for high results. So in the biography of Vasnetsova, biathlon moved to a professional level, which allowed her to perform at international competitions.

The first major competitions in Vasnetsova's sports career took place in the 2015/2016 season. At the Biathlon World Junior Championships, the girl delighted Russian fans. The 50th championship was held in 2016, from January 27 to February 2, in the Romanian Keila-Gradishtein. She competed in the category of girls and boys under 19 years old and immediately showed excellent results.

In the 7.5 km pursuit, the biathlete took 5th place, losing 4th place to her compatriot Polina Shevnina. But in the 6 km relay, Vasnetsova, in a team with the same Polina Shevnina and Yaroslava Pervakova, took 1st place, becoming the gold medalist of the World Championship. The fans considered that the tenth place in the individual race and the sprint was also a good result for the young Russian woman.

After recovering from the World Cup, Vasnetsova continues to participate in competitions. The next place to conquer the Olympus was the Winter Universiade of Russia - 2016, which took place in February and March. During this period, the audience already watched the final competitions taking place in Saransk. This is a comprehensive sports event aimed at developing and popularizing winter sports in Russia.

Valeria Vasnetsova spoke on behalf of the Tchaikovsky State Institute of Physical Culture, where she studied. The honor of the university with her in the team was also defended by Arkady Menshikova, Ksenia Kiseleva and Alexander Povarnitsyna. On the last day of the competition in the mixed relay, the girls defeated the other rivals, winning the institute the 1st place, and themselves awards in the form of gold medals.

In 2017, Vasnetsova showed excellent results in biathlon competitions. In February, the girl participated in the European Junior Championship, in the individual race she took 6th place. In the sprint, she earned a silver medal, but in the pursuit race, luck turned away from the athlete, or fatigue affected, since Valeria came to the finish line only 21st.

Immediately after that, the biathlete went to the 2017 Biathlon World Championship among juniors. In the pursuit race on the 10 km track, Valeria came to the finish line, 10 seconds ahead of her rival from Italy. And in the relay race with a 6 km track, Vasnetsova, as part of a team with Christina Reztsova and Ekaterina Moshkova, took 3rd place.

In addition, in the 2016/2017 season, the girl participated in the IBC Junior Cup races. At the second stage of the competition, which took place in the Austrian settlement of Hochfilzen, she took 1st place, the same sprint result awaited her at the third stage in Pokljuka, as well as victory in the mixed relay as part of a team with Ekaterina Sannikova, Nikita Porshnev and Igor Malinovsky.

At the 2017/2018 IBU Cup, which ended in mid-January in Arber, Germany, Valeria won silver, losing 1st place to Norwegian Hilda Fenn. And before that, competing in Lenzerheide in the single mixed relay, she also took 2nd place. Participation in the European Junior Championships in 2018 brought her gold and bronze medals, and at the World Championships she managed to become a bronze medalist in the relay race. At the summer competition held in Nove Mesto, the Russian woman took 1st place in the pursuit.

In Valeria's personal life, everything is going well now. The girl meets with biathlete Vladislav Vitenko, in competitions he plays for Kazakhstan. Despite constant training and performances at championships, the couple spends a lot of time together.

In May 2018, Vladislav made his beloved a marriage proposal, which the athlete's fans learned about from her Instagram page. The girl posted a touching photo on social networks where her young man, standing on one knee, holds out to his beloved a ring in a velvet box.

Although the engagement took place, Vladislav has not yet become Lera's husband, they also have no children.

Now Valeria continues to train hard, preparing under the leadership of Andrei Padin and Sergey Konovalov for the 2018/2019 season as part of the reserve women's national team of Russia. On December 2, 2018, the Biathlon World Cup of the new season started, which consists of 9 stages. The first competition was held in Pokljuka, Slovenia, and the finishing stage is scheduled for Norway at the end of March 2019.

The first race at the World Cup of the new season at Vasnetsova took place on December 6, following which the girl took 13th place in the individual race. When the competition was over, the biathlete shared her first impressions of the race on the Match TV channel. Although Vasnetsova was very pleased with the result, Lera admitted that the track was in very poor condition, which, of course, prevented her from coping with the road faster.

Not having had time to properly rest, the athlete made the next race already on December 8, it was a 7.5 km sprint, according to the results of which the Russian woman finished 21st. And on December 9, in a pursuit race on a 10-kilometer track, the girl came to the finish line only 31st. Russian fans are impatiently awaiting the continuation of the competition and support their compatriot with all their hearts.
