President,

Dear biathlon friends,
On 26 January 2016 the IBU Youth and Junior Championships will open in Cheile Gradistei, Romania.We are expecting athletes from all over the world who are capable of participating in the peak event for young biathletes, and who want to demonstrate their
performance and their future potential in biathlon.The venue itself is a young, new
biathlon venue, and although Romania has been an IBU member for many decades,
having world-class events taking place in Romania is something new.The premiere IBU
event at this new venue was held in the last week of August 2015 – the IBU SWCHsBiathlon 2015. There, the venue, uniquely set in the Carpathian Mountains proved that
it has all the athletes need in the 9 days between 25 January and 2 February 2016, in
walking distance from the actual venue.Each season the YJWCHs are an important landmark in the competition schedule and give an outlook on the future of our sport, and
insights into the work of our national member federations and general developments.
Nearly all biathlon stars have gone through this stage, and discerning viewers will be
able to tell which young talents we are soon likely to see on the World Cup podiums.
Within this starter field we will monitor how many nations are able to gain medals, as
this give us an indication on the development ofour sport.The same applies at the World
Cup where, at this early stage, the starter fields are also becoming more and more competitive, and the nations moving closer to each other in quality, season by season.Besides
the competitions, the thing that makes the IBU Youth/Junior World Championships
Biathlon special is the international atmosphere and the ability of international sport to
overcome boundaries, tosee similarities and to create friendship between nationalities.
I wish everyone an outstanding time in Cheile Gradistei, exciting and breathtaking events,
and a peaceful, joyous time in an international and fair atmosphere.
WLCOME!
Anders Besseberg
OC President
Ministry of Youth & Sports
My dear friends of biathlon,
I'm sure all those who were present at the World Championships last summer organized
Cheile Gradistei will return with joy in Romania. And I say this because I received your
messages from which I realized that our effort to organize the 2015 edition of the World
Championships Biathlon for seniors and juniors was appreciated, considered the most
successful edition in the history of the competition, as the IBU officials present at Cheile
Gradistei also said.
Meanwhile we worked on details, and the received support from IBU representatives
will be of great use for flawlessly organizing, early next year, the Junior Biathlon World
Championships.
I am glad to see that Romania is rapidlyeneting the good wolrd of biathlon, not only for
the place on the large map of major competitions organizers, but also for the results of
our athletes. Maybe that is why we are motivated to give special attention to the Romanian Ski and Biathlon Federation supporting the federation's efforts to raise the standards of this discipline in our country and also in the region.
Given that Cheile Gradistei don't need any other presentation, I can only wish that you
enjoy the wonderful places during winter when the white of the snow will increase the
mystery and charm of this blessed places.
We welcome you and wish you great success!
WE WAIT
YOUTH!
