Anton Vladimirovich Shipulin (Russian: Антон Владимирович Шипулин; born 21 August 1987) is a retired Russian biathlete and politician serving as the member of the State Duma since 2019.
Biography
He was born in the family of Vladimir Shipulin and Alla Shipulina, masters of sports in cross-country skiing and biathlon.[4] He started training at an early age, at first he took up ski racing under the guidance of his father, but once he saw a rifle from his older sister, Anastasiya Kuzmina, who was doing biathlon, he got the idea to try his hand at biathlon.[5] In 2002, his parents arranged for their son to go to a sports school in Khanty-Mansiysk to work with Svetlana Sleptsova's coach Mikhail Novikov. Under his guidance, Shipulin began his career in biathlon.
In 2007 in Val Martello, Italy, he was silver medallist in the individual pursuit, opening the account of personal victories at the international level. At the 2007 Biathlon European Championships he won a full set of medals: silver in the sprint, bronze in the pursuit and gold in the relay. In 2008 he successfully performed at the Junior World Championships in Ruhpolding: he was the first in sprint and pursuit, having made a series of six consecutive zeroes; together with Dmitry Blinov, Pavel Magazeev, Victor Vasiliev he won the relay; in the individual race he missed a shot and became the silver medallist, where he missed only 0.6 seconds. At the 2008 Biathlon European Championships he became the absolute European champion under 21, winning all 3 individual races and the relay.
For the 2008/2009 season he was preparing for the Russian national team under the guidance of Vladimir Alikin. According to the results of control training the coaching staff decided that the athlete would start the season with IBU Cup. On December 20, 2008 in the pursuit race, starting from 18th position, he managed to finish in the top three. In 2009, Alikin challenged Shipulin to the January rounds of the World Cup. In Oberhof on January 10, 2009 he made his debut in the sprint and showed 72nd time. The next start in the World Cup was the sprint race in Ruhpolding, where Anton again finished 72nd. The low results of the World Cup debutant were not only a consequence of a cold, but primarily due to the fact that the young body has not had time to recover from excessive loads during the national team training camp.[6] Then the coaching staff decided that Anton would not go to the 2009 World Championships in Pyeongchang, but would prepare with his personal coach for the European Championships. Having become a bronze medallist of the European Championships in Ufa in sprint and relay,[7] the biathlete again got the right to start at the World Cup stages. He earned his first points in the World Cup standings in the pursuit race, where he finished 29th. With 12 points earned in the pursuit, the athlete finished the season in 93rd place in the overall World Cup standings.
In January 2019, Shipulin announced that he would be a candidate for the United Russia nomination in the 2019 State Duma by-election in Serov constituency.[13] In the primary on 26 May, Shipulin defeated 5 other candidates, scoring 78.13% and won nomination for the United Russia.[14] In the by-election on 8 September, Shipulin won, gaining 41.59%.[15]
