The Venues
Ten venues will host the Biathlon World Cup in the winter of 2022/2023, with only European destinations on the programme. Russian and Belarusian athletes and venues are not included, their ban was extended for the entire season due to the Ukraine war.
The season will kick off at the end of November in Kontiolahti, Finland. Afterwards, Hochfilzen (Tyrol) and Le Grand Bornand (France) will be visited in December. The World Team Challenge planned for the Christmas break is to take place again this year in the stadium on Schalke.
In January, the World Cup team will move on to Pokljuka (Slovenia), Ruhpolding (Bavaria) and Antholz (South Tyrol). The highlight of the season will be the World Championships in Oberhof in February 2023. Around 35 million euros have been invested in the expansion of the biathlon stadium in Thuringia.
After the World Championships, the World Cup will travel on to Nove Mesto (Czech Republic) and Östersund (Sweden) in March. The crowning finale with the awarding of the crystal balls will be the final at Holmenkollen in Oslo, Norway.
