IBU Biathlon World Cup: Teams and Athletes 2020/2021

As an editor at Snow-Online I turned my hobby into my profession. Since September 2016 I have been in charge of the content. The mountains have always fascinated me. In winter, you can meet me in the ski areas not only on the downhill slopes, but also on the cross-country trails.

Who are the biathlon athletes competing in the 2020/2021 World Cup? We took a look at the best nations' male and female athletes and put together everything you need to know about the national teams and their squads.

Changes possible: During the course of the season, squad changes due to injuries, illnesses and lack of form may happen, with athletes from the second and youth teams replacing first-team athletes.
