Anna Sprung

World Class Master of Sports, Champion and silver medalist of the World Championship, 4-time winner of the World Championship, winner and silver medalist of the IBU Cup

World Cup: 5 gold medals, 2 silver medals, 4 bronze medals.

Trained under the guidance of Leonid Guryev, the Honored Coach of Russia, Master's degree program graduate of the UTMN Institute of Physical Education. For many years Anna played for the Russian national team and participated in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano as part of it.

I have been living and working in Ramsau, Austria for many years. I run a hotel and restaurant business and interact with Russian national biathlon and cross-country skiing teams.

I am a consulting coach at the Austrian Biathlon Academy.

Studying at the Institute of Physical Education allowed me to reach a new level of mastery in the sports field. Theoretical foundations combined with leading practices helped me to take a broader look at the problem of the development of biathlon as a sport. Individual approach and the possibility of online learning made it possible for me to defend my Master’s thesis in time. I managed to find the beauty in understanding psychology and individual aspects of an athlete which is very important for work but is absent in foreign school of thought. Highly qualified professorial staff, warm atmosphere, high level of knowledge and sporting wins are an integral part of the Institute of Physical Education of the University of Tyumen.
