Legend comes - Confirmed: He will be the new Biathlon chief in Austria!\n\nThe decision is made: Austria has a new Biathlon boss! The Austrian Ski Federation has chosen Christoph Sumann as the sports director for the loipe hunters. The Styrian is still considered one of the most successful red-white-red biathletes of all time.\n\nIn a report published shortly before the end of the past winter season, it was mentioned that Christoph Sumann was the top favorite to succeed Franz Berger as the head of this department. Now the personnel decision is final!\n\nHome World Championship as a big goal\nThe Styrian is expected to bring the flagging biathlon team back to form and ensure that, hopefully as early as the 2026 Olympics, but especially by the home World Championship in Hochfilzen in 2028, a competitive team is assembled that can regularly compete for top positions.\n\nThe 49-year-old was once a successful biathlete himself and finished second in the overall World Cup in the 2009/10 season. In the same season, he won the small crystal globe in the individual category. With six World Cup victories (in the individual category), he is still the most successful Austrian biathlete to this day.
