National Events Calendar

The National Events calendar reflects the continued commitment of National Federations to developing biathlon at all levels, offering competitions for children, youth, juniors and senior athletes. By bringing national competitions together in one calendar, the IBU aims to improve their international visibility, encourage cooperation between National Federations and make it easier for athletes to find competitions that welcome international participation.

Through this initiative, the IBU continues to support athlete development by creating more opportunities to compete, gain valuable experience and progress towards higher levels of international competition.
