Taras Lesiuk
Ukrainian biathlete (born 1996)
Taras Lesiuk (Ukrainian: Тарас Лесюк; born 21 August 1996) is a Ukrainian biathlete. He has been irregularly competing in the World Cup since 2019.
Career
Taras Lesiuk competed in his first international competition in December 2013 at the age of 17, participating in an IBU Cup sprint in Obertilliach. After that, he didn't appear again until 2015, when he started racing at the junior level. In early 2017, Lesiuk stood on the podium for the first time in the IBU Junior Cup with the relay team. Later that year, he won silver in the relay and the pursuit race at the Junior events of the Summer Biathlon World Championships, marking his only victory at the junior level. From the 2017/18 season onwards, Lesiuk consistently competed in the IBU Cup and quickly achieved results within the top 30. Two top-15 finishes in January 2019 earned him his debut in the World Cup at the overseas races in Canmore and Soldier Hollow. In his first race, the sprint in Canmore, he immediately scored World Cup points by finishing 32nd. He also competed in the relay race the following day, finishing seventh despite a penalty loop.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Taras Lesiuk” as ukrainian biathlete (born 1996). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as ukrainian biathlete (born 1996). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q61944338. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996, 2019, 2013 and 2015.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
