Biathletes of Month - October & November 2025

As reported at our recent AGM on 28 October our Biathletes of the Month for October were Darcie Morton and Phoenix Sparke for their wild card starts at the 2026 Olympic Biathlon Season Launch at the Biathlon Loop One Festival in Munich.  They represented Australia with honour and distinction and their sights are clearly set on Milano-Cortina.

Our Biathlete of the Month for November is Lauren Parker, OAM PLY, for her successful debut on the Australian Para Nordic team in Canmore, Canada.  As well as being recognised as the NSW Athlete of the Year with a Disability.  Lauren's incredible migration from para triathlon/ cycling across to para biathlon / XC is truly inspiring.  We wish her every success and our fingers are crossed for her and the rest of our incredible para team making it to the Paralympics. 

Special mentions go to:

• Boris Stanish for being a top 3 finalist in the IBU Athletes Social Media Awards

• Chilli Sparke for winning the Spirit of Interschools Award as part of the 2025 Snow Australia Community Sport Award

• Dave Miln for being shortlisted for a NSW Sports Award in the category of Athlete of the Year with a Disability for both Biathlon & Nordic skiing

• Taryn Dickens (guided by Seanie Craig) taking silver at the Nordiq Canada Continental Cup - Australia's first podium for the season
