Check out what it feels like to follow biathlon next season

New Digital Ecosystem for the International Biathlon Union

The goal of the IBU’s new digital ecosystem is to promote the sport and grow its fan base and fan engagement through digital innovation and superior user experience. This agenda is a part of the IBU’s Target 26 strategy.

By November 2021, we will deliver a brand new biathlonworld.com website and iOS and Android applications. With real-time updates and user-friendly statistics Biathlon fans can follow competitions and get insights into biathletes and the sport in general, combined with personalised user experiences and top-notch content such as action clips, front-row photography and much more.

Vincit Plc is the IBU's main partner for the project responsible for the whole design and development process end-to-end and for maintenance of these services. The original concept design was done by Iona.

Bring the drama and fascination to Biathlon fans of all ages around the globe
