Moreover, now the coaching headquarters of the team considers Loginov's only one who, among the label of shooting, is also able to escape the distance from and to.Childhood and youth
Biathlon's star broke out in Saratov in January 1992. Alexander did not dream about the career athlete, but was fond of sports. Preference gave karate, in winter, together with friends, went skiing.
At 13, a teenager, looking like a sister Tatiana, he thought about biathlon seriously. At the same time he entered the Children's Youth School of the Olympic reserve in their hometown, where he fell into the hands of Catherine Catherine Khalimullina's talented coach. A year later, the guy was already proud of the results: fulfilling the standards, became a candidate for the masters of sports in biathlon and ski racing.
From this point on, the sports biography of Loginov is rapidly gaining momentum. The list of achievements of the young biathlete appear prizes from regional and All-Russian competitions. Saratovtsians noticed coaches of the main team.
The idol of Loginov calls the Norwegian Biathlon Star to Ule Einar Bjorndalena. For him, Sasha was sick in his childhood, catching herself at a desire to be like a legend. Like most colleagues, he thought about the second profession, not related to the sport, and became a student of the Faculty of Management of the Local Agrarian University.
Personal life
Both wives of Loganov understood her husband with a half-word, since happiness in his personal life he found on the ski. Margarita Yarostova and Maria Krucov - biathletes.From the first Alexander met at the take-off career. Yarosratova for 3 years younger, a master of sports, originally from Balakovo, also studied at the Saratov Agrarian University.

After several years, the novel was crowned with a campaign to the registry office. At that time, Rita turned 19, and Sasha - 22. The wedding took place in the summer of 2014 in Saratov, surrounded by 80 relatives and friends. For the sake of such an event, Loginov was given a week of weekends, at the end of which were waiting in Novosibirsk, where rifle fees were held.
For this reason, the team for a celebration did not arrive, her senior coach of the Russian men's team Alexander Kupreovich, also attended Ekaterina Khaliullina, the first mentor of Margarita and Alexander.
Marriage collapsed in 2016. Divorce has passed without problems, since the spouses did not have time to acquire children.
Logins have long heard hardly not the most closed athlete of Russia. Biathleteist reluctantly gives interviews, especially after the finish, is a few at press conferences, in "Instagram" there are no high-footer promises, only words of gratitude under the photo in case of success. Therefore, fans remained guessing when Alexander had a relationship with a new life companion. An assumption appeared that it happened in 2012.
Maria - a native of Ukraine, advocated the youth team, in 2015 he won in the sprint at the Stope of the Junior World Cup. In the adult team made his debut in 2017 at the IBU Cup. In the 2018/2019 season, in the same tournament, the girl won bronze in a mixed relay.

In the numerous ponds of the terrain there were carps, karasi, pikes and perch.
The biathlete recalled that the first catch was successful: a 11-year-old boy pulled a 6-kilogram pike ashore. Now the logins give up the hobby less time, but at the first opportunity, uses the moment.
Biathlon
In 2010, Loginov performed as part of the national team at the Junior World Championships in Sweden. For a beginner, the guy started perfectly: in the personal race he became the fourth and fifth, approaching the pedestal at all closely. A 18-year-old biathlete managed to recoup in the relay, where he became the leader.
Soon Alexander - the king of the Junior level. In 2011 in the Czech new place in the personal racing, the Russian ranked two third places, and in the relay, he was leading.

Soon the Loginov, who argued that in the Russian Championships would speak only for the Saratov region, moved to Tyumen. He was provided with exceptional conditions - the Sport Complex Base "Pearl Siberia", one of the best in the world. And in his hometown, a guy with an increase in 177 cm had to be "combined" with a tiny changing room with a size of 2 x 2 meters.
However, an adult career started so successfully, interrupted on takeoff. According to the results of the doping sample, made on November 26, 2013, Alexander Loginova in November 2014 removed from competitions and training. Athlete disqualified until November 2016.

Another award was waiting for an athlete at the World Biathlon Championship in the Austrian Hochfilzen. At the stage of the mixed relay, the biathlonist consisted of the Russian team, which also entered Olga Pilotuchard, Tatiana Akimov and Anton Sipulin, became a bronze medalist.
2018 began for Loginov unsuccessfully. Alexander was repeatedly criticized by Marten Fourcade, who laid out video information on social networks to a Russian counterpart about his disqualification due to doping history.
For the same reason, the athlete did not receive admission to participate in the Winter Olympics. Then, did not have time to solve questions on a Schengen visa in time, he missed the stages of the World Cup, which were held in Finland and Norway.

The highest step again took Johannes Boy. His logins gave way to 33 seconds at the rate of persecution and was content with a silver medal.
At the stage in France, the Russian team did not even enter the top ten leaders. Hope on the podium loomed in German Oberhof and Rupleolding, but never came true. Nevertheless, the head coach of Anatoly Hvenov said that the 4th and 5th place is also a good result.

Alexander Loginov Now
For the same Sypulin, Alexander's victory in the sprint at the World Cup in February 2020 was a surprise. Although now the deputy of the State Duma believes that this is natural: Logins are calm, steady psychologically, he developed immunity against the trust, which turned in the press and in the Biathleteists themselves.Gold, won by the athlete in Antholz, is the first for the national team since 2008. Alexander added to him also bronze in the persecution race. The success was delighted by compatriots and the union of biathletes of Russia. Foreign journalists, not even present at the tournament, and rivals tried to raise login more more, recalling the former doping scandals.
It is clear why he refused to communicate with the press in the mix zone. But when it was time, withered representatives of the Norwegian media, asked how much the athlete is "clean."
Russian television viewers, unfortunately, did not show the staff, as Fourcad, who was considered almost the leader of the Loginov's Internet etching, shryped her hand at the awards ceremony. Johannes and Tariau Boy, at first they spent that Alexander was not worthy of victory, I had to change the rhetoric. That's just probably forced the brothers not an objective fact, but angry comments of Russian subscribers "Instagram".
In the 2020/2021 season, Loganov again entered the Russian national team and went to the World Cup, this time started at the end of November in Finnish Contiolachti.
