In the sprint, Nigmatullina became 13th, in the individual race she was only 78th, and finished the pursuit race in 11th position.

In the women's relay, Ульяна ран at the final last stage. The first segment for Russia turned out to be like a swing: Irina Kazakova was only 7th, Кристина Резцова лед the team to the leaders, and Svetlana Mironova's mistakes lowered the girls to the 3rd position. Nigmatullina, having made 1 mistake, was able to bypass the Italian Federica Sanfilippo, finishing the race second after the representative of Sweden Elvira Eberg and bringing the Russian team silver medals.

This season was not outstanding for Nigmatullina, but it is also wrong to call it a failure. She proved to be an excellent team player and updated her personal records. Her name was included in the final composition of the national team for the 2021/2022 season. At the World Cup in Hochfilzen, Ulyana, Valeria Vasnetsova, Svetlana Mironova and Kristina Reztsova won silver medals in the relay race.

In February 2022, Ulyana had a chance to represent the country at the Olympic Games in Beijing. In the first discipline, the mixed relay, the Russian team consisting of Nigmatullina, Kristina Reztsova, Alexander Loginov and Eduard Latypov won bronze medals.

In February 2021, the coaching staff of the biathlon team announced that Kaisheva joined the team for the World Championship. The first was the relay race, where absolutely all representatives of Russia showed very mediocre results. As a result, the team took only 7th place. At the sprint, Ulyana made 4 mistakes and in the interview could not explain why this happened. However, at the same time she managed to become the best model among her compatriots. The pursuit race allowed the athlete to rise to 21st place in the overall standings. And as part of the mass start, she finished fifth, which was, by the way, the best result in her career.

Until recently, the personal life of an athlete was a secondary matter. She devoted all her time to training and competitions, only occasionally updating content on social networks.

But in June 2021, news appeared on the Web that delighted all fans of Russian biathlon. It became known that the champion married the famous Russian skier Ilshat Nigmatullin. After the wedding, the star began to bear the surname of her spouse.

In the autumn of 2020, the 1st stage of the Biathlon World Cup started in Kontiolahti, Finland. Together with Kaisheva, Evgenia Pavlova, Larisa Kuklina, Svetlana Mironova and other biathletes performed as part of the women's team. At the end of the competition, the audience and the organizers agreed that it was one of the most spectacular Cups in recent years. In a tense struggle, the Russians managed to snatch victory and become champions of the competition.

After the competition, Kaisheva gave an interview in which she expressed gratitude to the technical staff for the excellent condition of the skis. The athlete suggested that a well-prepared inventory largely influenced such a high result. The biathlete assessed her contribution rather modestly, admitting that she had done nothing beyond her usual abilities.

PERSONAL LIFE

Becoming famous, Ulya gradually gained a huge circle of fans. In addition to success in sports, the girl pleases her admirers with erudition and erudition. Kaisheva reads a lot and loves listening to music. For the right mood, she listens to classics before performances, and after that she can relax to energetic dance rhythms.

The owner of a sporty, toned figure, Ulyana, has received offers from advertising agencies more than once. The girl has already starred in a number of commercials of famous brands.

Among the four Russian biathletes, Ulyana got to the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang. The Udmurt athlete performed in almost all types of competitions, with the exception of relay and mass start. At this Olympiad, Kaisheva showed the best result in the individual race, finishing 24th.

In the spring of 2018, the media started talking about the champion again. At that time, the eighth stage of the World Cup was held in Holmenkollen, Norway, in which Ulya was one of the leaders of the sprint race. The victory went to the Slovak biathlete Anastasia Kuzmina, but Kaisheva's brilliant performance did not go unnoticed. The Russian woman came to the finish line eighth, although at the beginning of the race she occupied the fifth position. When shooting on the first lap, the girl made a mistake, which caused her to lose precious minutes. However, this result allowed Ulyana to get into the subsequent pursuit race.

At the beginning of 2017, Ulyana again took part in the World Cup, this time in both single and team races. In addition to Kaisheva, Olga Podchufarova, Victoria Slivko and Tatiana Akimov were included in the Russian national team. In the relay, the athletes took only 13th place, four minutes behind the winners – the team from Germany.

At the summer Biathlon World Championships held in Tchaikovsky in 2017, the biathlete took part in the mixed relay. This time she managed to win the gold medal of the competition.

The following year, 2013, was no less successful for the biathlete. Kaisheva won an unconditional victory among athletes under the age of 19, and in the junior European Championship she managed to become a two-time champion.

Not everything was smooth in the career of a young athlete – there were also annoying mistakes. One of such cases is the disqualification of the Russian team due to Ulyana's mistake. At the finish line, she confused the corridor and stepped in for the marking, which led to the punishment of the entire team.

The biathlete soon compensated for the bitterness of defeat with new resounding victories. In December 2017, Kaisheva became the silver medalist of the IBU Cup, held in the Austrian city of Obertillach. In general, at those competitions, Russian girls made a real splash, taking all the steps of the podium.

Ulyana started training with the honored coach of the UR A. L. Bogdanov in 2008. A year later, the athlete was included in the youth national team of the Russian Federation, after which well-known mentors A. I. Suslov and N. P. Savinov joined the work on her skills.

In 2012, there was a rise in the sports career of a young biathlete. Eighteen-year-old Kaisheva won three personal races, making herself a great gift for the day of coming of age. Then there was the first Olympics in her life in Innsbruck, after participating in which a young athlete from Mozhga became famous all over the world. The 7.5 km pursuit race brought Ulyana a gold medal, and in the sprint race she got a bronze.

At the age of ten, Ulyana completely switched to biathlon. The budding girl was taken under his wing by Alexey Korotaev, Honored coach of the Republic of Udmurtia. The young athlete showed her first successes in the walls of the city sports school of the Olympic reserve.

By the time she graduated from high school, Kaisheva was already a multiple winner of city and regional competitions. The girl continued her education at the university, entering the Faculty of Tourism Organization.

Sister Anastasia also entered the university, but chose the specialty of a journalist. Like Ulya, she also achieved considerable heights in biathlon; in 2018, at the junior Russian Championship, the athlete won a gold medal in the individual competition. Kaisheva Jr. also took third place in the team competitions of the 2020 national Championship.

Udmurtia is not called the "ski republic" for nothing. Almost every resident here is an excellent skier.

It turned out that the sports biography of Ulyana began in early childhood. Parents put two daughters, Ulyana and her younger sister Anastasia, on skis as soon as they learned to walk. And they did not lose: both girls have reached considerable heights. However, not in skiing, but in biathlon.

Biography

Ulyana Nigmatullina is called the "princess of biathlon". This fragile, but at the same time with a steel rod inside, the athlete really deserved such a flattering definition. At her age, she managed to achieve such victories that her senior colleagues only dreamed of.

Childhood and youth

Ulyana Kaisheva (the maiden name of the athlete, under which she became famous in biathlon) was born on the women's holiday on March 8 in the cozy Udmurt town of Mozhga. The locality is famous for the factory for the production of wooden rulers. Uli's dad works at this enterprise. Both the biathlete's father and mother are excellent skiers. In the past, Ulyana's parents participated in the championship of the republic and achieved considerable success in this sport. However,
