heywoodu 13,566 Posted July 10, 2022 #71 Share Posted July 10, 2022 The boss of the Brazilian snow sports federation is apparently running for a position in the IBU Executive Board. Wouldn't have guessed that https://www.biathlonworld.com/news/press-release-elections-ibu/1WgNEyHEG4YzlgxOz8py4I Which is odd, since they really don't do anything with biathlon in the first place. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

That is odd. Their election could be a step towards a more robust summer biathlon presence. Not surprised to see Max Cobb from the US there for a position. It is good to see Sara Studabaker-Hall. She has done lots of good work with the US federation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which wouldn't happen though. Biathlon is used mostly for the money and equipment one gets for starting in IBU races, which is then used for some athletes in the cross-country program.

Tragic news... Although, what a weird way of writing: Quote He could tear his opponents apart at the World Cup, but he preferred piloting helicopters to biathlon, for which he had a special passion. Unfortunately, this is, to put it mildly, unsafe.
