About the Biahtlon Championships in Vysocina Arena
The championships start on Wednesday February 7th, with the evening mixed relay race. On Friday it will be the women’s sprint and on Saturday the men’s sprint. First Sunday od the championships is dedicated to the pursuit races.
The following week we will see a women’s 15km endurance race and a men’s 20km endurance race, as well as a mixed doubles‘ relay. The whole championship will culminate on the weekend of February 17th-18th, when the women’s and men’s relays and mass races of the top 30 athletes in both categories are going to take place.
Biathlon in Nove Mesto na Morave enjoys high attendance every year, and this year the Vysocina Arena with a daily capacity of 27,000 visitors is also almost sold out. In total, the organisers expect a similar number of fans as at the last World Championships in 2013, around 200,000.
ALPINE PRO at the Championships
The ALPINE PRO brand has been dressing the team of organizers and volunteers from Vysočina Arena for many years. This year they are wearing a brand new custom-made dark blue kit with gold accessories. In addition, you will also see this new ALPINE PRO Biathlon collection on the members of the Czech, Slovak, Belgian and Japanese national teams, all the judges of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) and hopefully a lot of biathlon fans.
Visitors can find a sales stand of ALPINE PRO right in the Vysocina Arena where anyone can buy this year’s Olympic collection and selected other accessories. Biathlon fans can then compete on our social media throughout the championships for vouchers to the stores, with the grand prize being the exact same set of clothing that will be worn by the 2024 World Championships organisers.
