The men's biathlon team of Ukraine will go to the third stage of the World Cup in French Annecy, not the main team.

The leaders of the team Dmitry Pidruchny, Sergei Semenov, Artem Prima and Vladimir Semakov will hold a training camp in the Austrian Obertilliach.

Instead, the World Cup will be played by the sportsmen of the reserve team - Artem Tishchenko, Andrey Dotsenko, Maxim Ivko, as well as Ruslan Tkalenko and Alexander Zhirny.

As part of the women's team changes are not planned. Ukraine will be represented by: Julia Jima, Valya Semerenko, Vita Semerenko, Elena Pidgrushnaya, Anastasia Merkushina, Irina Varvinets.

The third stage of the World Cup will be held on December 14-17.

Our team already has "silver" in the women's relay race (Hochfilzen), and "bronze" Julia Jima in the sprint and individual race (Ostersund).
