Material Distribution

The IBU provides material support for all developing NF members through cooperation with IBU's supplying partners. Each year, biathlon equipment like skis, ski boots, bindings, poles, ammunition, rifle parts, ski uniforms, gloves, wax, and many other items are distributed to IBU´s member federations to support the Development of biathlon on a national level. The distribution is based on a wishlist provided by the NFs and is regularly organized in December.

Principles for Material Distribution

The support is given to NFs from B, C, D, and E development categories, which have at least 4 athletes competing in a minimum of 2 IBU Competitions (incl. IBU Regional events). The value of the equipment package will be based on

• the number of athletes participating in IBU Events from the previous season.

• wishlist from NF (submitted via IBU Scope).

• available equipment from Partner & Suppliers
