The History of Biathlon in FISU

As a sport that has its roots in the army, biathlon has become a very exciting sport for university students. In February 1983, the FISU Winter Universiade was staged in Sofia, Bulgaria. The global character of the Games was reflected in the number of events on the programme and biathlon competition was included for the first time. Seven countries and 34 male athletes competed. The Soviets sailed through the competition and won the first three places. Until today’s competitions Soviet students and students form Eastern European countries have kept showing their international class.
