IBU

The International Biathlon Union (IBU) is the international governing body for the sport of biathlon, which combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Founded in 1993, the IBU is responsible for the rules and regulations of biathlon competitions, including qualifications for the Olympic Games. In recent news, the IBU clarified that its qualification rules do not allow for neutral athletes, impacting the potential participation of Belarusian biathletes in the upcoming Winter Olympics.
