Since his parents, Alla Abushaevna and Vladimir Ivanovich Shipulina, were specialists in ski training, this predetermined the occupation of Little Anton. He, like his older sister Nastya, stood skiing in early childhood. In childhood, Anton and Nastya Shipulins, at first, under the sensitive paternal leadership, joined the ski races, but, once seeing a rifle from the biathlon, “fell ill” with this sport.
