The final WYOG team selections will be made by the AOC later this year.
The teams have been recommended to the Board by the Selection Committee and are based on the 2023 Selection Criteria as set out on the Biathlon Australia website. The 2023 Selection Criteria was also recommended to the Board for approval by the Selection Committee.
We wish to thank the following members of the Selection Committee: Colin Young, Paul Connor, three time Olympian Kerryn Rim (www.olympics.com.au/olympians/kerryn-rim/) and independent board members Brett Jones and Sandy Willis.
In readiness for an impending unification with Snow Australia, as announced on 13 July this year, the Biathlon Australia 2023 Selection Criteria has been modelled on the Snow Australia selection criteria template for selections. Further details on the Board's announcement for unifying with Snow Australia can be found here.
While many announcements for upcoming camps have already been made, further details on camps, competitions and coaches will be made shortly.
We wish to congratulate all athletes on the above selections, many of whom have been selected for the first time, and wish them all success for the upcoming 2023/24 Northern Hemisphere winter season.
