BOWEN Seven

From Adriatic shores to snowy peaks, Croatian biathletes Anika Kozica and Matija Legovic set their sights on Milano-Cortina 2026.

The Winter Olympics in Italy, the last time this happened was in Turin in 2006 and the games are still fondly remembered. We take Olympic Day as an opportunity to look back on the Games of 20 years ago with Kati Wilhelm, Michael Greis and Anna Carin Zidek and to spark anticipation for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina.

The Olympic Winter Games 2026 in Milano Cortina will be a highlight for all biathlon fans - with the biathlon competitions slated to take place in stunning Antholz-Anterselva. Biathlon fans can already register for tickets before the public sale in April!

Deep in the winter, we have asked our athletes three Paris 2024-related questions: in which discipline would they compete, which ticket would they buy, and which Olympic legend would they like to meet?

This week, the International Olympic Committee announced that the upcoming 2030 and 2034 Olympics will be held in the French Alps and Salt Lake City, with the biathlon events taking place at our regular World Cup venues in Annecy-Le Grand Bornand and Soldier Hollow. To celebrate, let’s take a look at some of the most memorable moments from these venues over the years.

During its 142nd session in Paris, the International Olympic Committee has awarded the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2030 to the French Alps and the 2034 edition to Salt Lake City-Utah. Given the next French government will sign the Games Delivery Guarantees, Annecy-Le Grand Bornand will be the biathlon venue for 2030, whilst Soldier Hollow will host the biathlon competitions in 2034.

Dorothea Wierer has announced that she intends to continue her biathlon career until the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.

Team Italy claims the final Gold medal of the Youth Olympic Games in Gangwon. Despite three penalty loops on the third leg, the quartet of Nayeli Mariotti Cavagnet, Carlotta Gautero, Hannes Bacher and Michel Deval prevailed in the Mixed Relay, following up on Italy's Mixed Relay victory in Lausanne.

Antonin Guy and Carlotta Gautero are the Sprint Youth Olympic Champions in Gangwon. For Guy, it is the third gold medal in as many competitions. Gautero had previously been a silver medalist in the Youth Women Relay at last year's Youth Junior World Championships in Shchuchinsk.

With a dominant display across all four legs, France's Alice Dusserre and Antonin Guy claimed Gold in the Single Mixed Relay at the Youth Olympic Games in Gangwon.
