Dear Biathlon Australia family,

We’re excited to share some amazing publicity that BA and our awesome para team received during the course of last weekend’s Australian Biathlon Championships at Whiskey Flat, Mt Hotham.

Tim Mannion of Paralympics Australia has penned this wonderful article about the journey of BA’s para biathlon team: https://www.paralympic.org.au/2025/08/aussie-para-biathletes-making-an-impact-in-search-of-history/

And immediately prior to the Mass Start we had a live cross to Channel 9's Wide World of Sport, featuring Dave Miln: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW5IzpeHU7k

Massive thanks to the team at Paralympics Australia, including 2026 Chef de Mission Ben Troy, who spent the entire weekend at Hotham in support of our Australian Championships - and graciously awarding medals to ALL our athletes.  

Thanks to Mark Steven and Kate Allman for pulling together the live cross to Wide World of Sport and all the amazing footage shot by Mark (watch this space).  Shout out to Channel 9 - the Olympic and Paralympic broadcaster for their excellent exposure.

And a huge thank you to all our athletes, coaches, parents/families, race officials, volunteers, Sandra (our GM), Robs (our XO), Ana our visiting coach from Finland, Adam for common waxing and all the Board members who attended in person and worked behind the scenes.  Finally, we are ever so grateful to Hotham / Alpine Resorts Victoria and the Victorian Department of Sport and Recreation for their ongoing support, sponsorship and access to our terrific range, the Moth and associated facilities (especially the BBQ 😀).

Ski Fast | Shoot Straight | Have Fun

Dave, Sandy, Brett, Libby, Kat, Kate, Mark & Murray
