Dear Biathlon Australia family,

The IBU have shared the recording from the recent Athlete Webinar with us.

We are happy to share with you the recording of the IBU Athlete Webinar “Media & the Athlete”, which takes a closer look at the relationship between athletes and the media and offers practical insights and experiences from different viewpoints.

The webinar features valuable perspectives from across the sport:

IBU´s point of view – Christian Winkler, IBU Communications Director

The journalist’s perspective – Christian Dexne, ARD television journalist

The athlete’s perspective – Selina Gasparin, former biathlete

The expert’s perspective – Christoph Iglhauser, media consultant

Media work at the Olympics – IOC representatives Dorina Szekeres, Christian Klaue, and Yohann Lacroix

A key part of the session focuses on media work at the Olympic Games 2026 and the essential dos and don’ts of content creation & usage during the event.
