Biathlon: off to Altenberg for the Junior Cup
This week, the 2024/2025 Junior Biathlon Cup celebrates its fourth leg. After the races in Ridnaun-Val Ridanna (Italy) and Goms (Switzerland) in December and the one in Jakuszyce (Poland) in the last few days, it’s to Altenberg (Germany) that the circuit devoted to the discipline’s young thumbs moves.
