BIU Integrity Ambassador, Sebastian Samuelsson (SWE), said:

The IBU Ambassador program has been a great experience, both when it comes to raise important topics but also with the education that has been offered whitin the program.

IBU Gender Equality Ambassador, Kelsey Dickinson (USA), said:

The IBU Athlete Ambassador Program was an amazing opportunity to be more connected and involved within the Biathlon Family. We collaborated on projects to educate and inform all stakeholders in the IBU to create positive change. One of my favorite parts of the program was getting to work with my Gender Equity team on brainstorming ideas and then turning them into campaigns and projects.

IBU Sustainability Ambassador, Jules Burnotte (CAN), said:

The ambassador program was a good way as an athlete to hear more about what the IBU is doing and an opportunity to develop own project ideas. In those two first years, we where mostly building the role, getting education, practicing communication skills, but now for what is to come, the ambassadors will be able to take on some interesting projects!
