The high involvement of our Master athletes in biathlon programs underpins biathlon being a sport for life. It helps create long standing friendships and bonds people for life around the challenge of hitting 5 from 5! Biathlon Australia strongly supports their Master’s program, and team of people involved, including the coaches, Toscha and Paul. The wonderful Masters show us time and time again that you are never too old to compete in biathlon.
