Biathlon for All initiative engages children at Sillaotsa School

On 25 September 2025, Sillaotsa School hosted a vibrant “Biathlon for All” event as part of its annual Sports Week, introducing pupils to the fundamentals of biathlon in an accessible and engaging format.

The event, held on school grounds, welcomed a total of 80 participants aged between 7 and 14. Of these, 60 competitors fell within the under-15 category, including 36 boys and 24 girls. The programme focused on a combination of running and laser shooting, offering a safe and inclusive entry point into the sport.

Organised with the support of two volunteers and two coaches, the day aimed to promote physical activity while familiarising young people with biathlon. The running-based format proved particularly suitable for the age group, ensuring high levels of participation and enthusiasm throughout the sessions.
