Johannes Kühn Embraces New Opportunities in Biathlon

Originally published in Sport1 on July 16, 2024

Johannes Kühn, a stalwart of the German biathlon national team, is set to embark on an exciting new chapter this upcoming season. At 32 years old, Kühn has made the significant decision to switch equipment suppliers, parting ways with the Austrian brand Fischer to partner with the renowned Norwegian brand Madshus.

This transition is noteworthy, as it aligns Kühn with elite biathletes such as Emilien Jacquelin and Sturla Holm Lagreid, both of whom rely on Madshus equipment. Additionally, fellow German biathlete Roman Rees will be supporting Kühn during this adjustment, offering insights on how to effectively adapt to the new gear.

In another intriguing development, Kühn has confirmed his participation in the Martin Fourcade Nordic Festival, scheduled for August 31 in Annecy, France. This choice means he will skip the German National Championships in Altenberg, which coincides with the festival dates, signaling a bold move in his sporting career.
