Biathlon is an elite winter sport. It is by its very nature one where you have to fight for victory all the way to the finishing line.
It is no coincidence that world-class Athletes convene here in Kontiolahti. The conditions in Kontiolahti are first rate, and the Stadium itself has become a legend among Athletes. For over two decades now, it has offered an excellent environment for Athletes to practise and compete in the best of conditions. However, conditions alone do not make competitions a success. The audience following the World Cup is enthusiastic and understands the tricks of the trade. In addition, all the volunteers involved in the event arrangements are competent and highly dedicated.
Indeed, this competition in Kontiolahti is a joint project for the entire region. I’m pleased to note that Kontiolahti has so many helping hands and support. The Regional Council of North Karelia, together with the Municipality of Kontiolahti and the City of Joensuu, are building an even better environment for World Cup competitions. This will provide a good foundation for future years. The role of Kontiolahti as the organiser of World Cup events will grow, as the World Cup series will commence here next November.
Biathlon has provided Finland with many proud moments. It is great to be able to enjoy it in Kontiolahti today and in the future too.
I wish the contest audience a pleasant weekend following top performance. Enjoy the rigorous battle for milliseconds of the best Athletes surrounded by our beautiful spring countryside.

DEAR BIATHLON FAMILY – WE WARMLY WELCOME YOU TO FINLAND AND KONTIOLAHTI TO ATTEND THE BMW IBU WORLD CUP 8
Lack of snow and snow conditions during the season 2019–2020 have been difficult to all parties of the sport. Training, competitions and organizing biathlon events all need snow. This year has been extremely different and more difficult than perhaps ever before. Organizing committees and other involved people have done excellent work during the winter that it has been possible to execute World Cup´s and other IBU events. We want to thank all OC´s and IBU staff for the professional and ”addicted”-type of achievements during this season when organizing biathlon events.
Kontiolahti OC and the Finnish Biathlon Federation have worked hard in good co-operation to enable the best possible conditions and atmosphere to Biathlon family who participate the BMW IBU World Cup 8 in Kontiolahti. One of the corner stones of Target 26 is ”Enhancing our events”, I hope we have managed in our work also from that point of view.
The Finnish Biathlon Federation is celebrating its 60th anniversary during 2020. We are very happy in Finland to be able to host 2 world cups this year, one in March and another in November – the new regenerated ”season opening”.
I wish the whole Biathlon family welcome in Kontiolahti and Finland in March 2020!
Kalle Lähdesmäki

President
4 GREETING OF THE KONTIOLAHTI-JOENSUU ORGANIZING COMMITTEE
DEAR MEMBERS OF THE BIATHLON FAMILY,
Finland and Kontiolahti OC have the honor to welcome the whole Biathlon Family to BMW IBU World Cup Biathlon Kontiolahti 9.3.–15.3.2020. Finnish biathlon fans and the whole North Karelia region have been waiting for this biathlon season and the most important and biggest winter event here in Finland.
Last season Kontiolahti OC had a year off from IBU events, but we have spent all this time improving and developing our organization and facilities to offer you even better World Cup experience. And most of all we will work hard again for the best conditions for biathletes!
The year 2020 will be the highlight for biathlon in Finland. Kontiolahti OC will host also the season opening 2020–2021. We will put much effort to offer excellent conditions and atmosphere for the teams.
We wish success for all the nations and the teams for this season and we warmly welcome you all to Finland and Kontiolahti!
