Every biathlon competition you follow, every video you watch, every story you read during the biathlon season has people behind it. Cameras, microphones, laptops and long hours in the mixed zone or at the shooting range.

This International Women’s Day, we want to highlight some of the women who help bring biathlon closer to fans around the world.

Across the Biathlon Series, women today play key roles in telling the stories of our sport. Content creators capturing the atmosphere around competitions, photographers documenting the moments that define a race, media managers coordinating coverage, and athlete content creators offering a perspective from inside the field of play.

It was not always like this.

When our digital work in biathlon accelerated several years ago, the environment looked quite different. Over time that has changed — not because of quotas or a specific plan, but simply because the right people joined the team and brought their skills, ideas and perspectives.

Today, more and more of the content and cameras shaping how biathlon is presented to the world belong to women. In the IBU Team but also its National Federations.

Like in any team with people from different generations, nationalities and backgrounds, opinions do not always align. Sometimes perspectives clash. But generally, those differences are also what make the work stronger.

What matters is how we approach them. The people featured in the gallery below are just a few of the many individuals who are working behind the scenes across the biathlon series this season. They are part of the team capturing the sport as it happens and helping share it with fans everywhere - whether for the IBU, National Federations, Athletes or Broadcasters.

Today is simply a moment to make their work a little more visible.
