Media-Guide BMW IBU World Cup Biathlon Oberhof 2021

                            Dear Valued Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Athletes and Officials:

                            We are happy to welcome you again to Oberhof from 4 through 17 of
                            January 2021 for the BMW IBU World Cup Biathlon. In 2020, the
                            coronavirus pandemic caused a standstill for life in public in many places
                            and numerous sport events, such as the Euro in football and the Tokyo
                            Olympic Games, were cancelled or postponed. Times have been difficult
for athletes, clubs, and federation ... and, not least, for fans of the sports. This is why I am all the
happier that we may look forward to top-level winter sports and one of the most beautiful winter
sports to return to our home district of Schmalkalden-Meiningen. Unfortunately, the World Cup will
happen without our legendary fans. The current dynamics of the infection did not leave us any choice
but to go down this path – considering the health of the spectators and also living up to the
responsibility that our many volunteers and our supporters rightfully expect of us.

The Internation Biathlon Union, the German Skiing Federation, and we, the executive host, have
developed comprehensive concepts, in order for the World Cup Biathlon to take place with standards
of utmost safety and hygiene put into place to the benefit of the athletes, coaches, team staff.

The resumption of the international football leagues and the UEFA Champions League Finals in
Lisbon have demonstrated that professional sport with responsible concepts is possible in times of
pandemic. They have also proved to be soothing for the fans at home, in front of their telly in a
period of considerable restrictions. To this too, we want to contribute Oberhof’s share with
professionalism.

In January, you will note that much has changed in Oberhof despite the pandemic. In preparation for
the Biathlon WCH of 2023, the upgrade work in Thüringen’s Arena am Rennsteig went into full swing
in the spring. The upcoming years will see shape up one of the most state-of-the-art biathlon stadia.
One good news, especially in times of pandemic: construction work is on schedule. By the time of the
World Cup Biathlon, the new course lay-out and the athlete access tunnel will have been finished.
Reason to be excited. Athletes, personnel, and staff will already get the benefit of the upgrades
during the next World Cup.

Whatever the mode in which the event will be held, it is a fact that it would simply be impossible
without the many partners, sponsors and the committed work put in by the organizers and the large
number of volunteers. They keep up the tenacity and cherish the passion it takes to achieve the
holding with no hiccups that turns a great sports events into an exciting experience, all the more so
in circumstances as challenging as we are having them right now around the world. Circumstances
that include climate change, which sets challenges for more and more organizers. In this respect, we
reshaped our snow management approach as a result of our taking the justified criticisms addressed
to us this year very seriously.

I am wishing a safe trip here to all involved, fun and success at the competitions and, of course, many
targets hit at the range. Enjoy your time at Oberhof and stay healthy!

Yours, Faithfully,
Peggy Greiser
Head of the Schmalkalden-Meiningen District Council

A - General Information

A. 1. Information about the Competition Area:

Oberhof – Welcome to the Biathlon-World-Championship-Town of 2023
Oberhof is located in the middle of the Thuringian Forest (800m above sea level) in Germany. In
addition to tourism and winter sports Oberhof in Thuringia is particularly appreciated because of its
central location and the landscape with low mountain chains. Thuringia as a whole is called the green
heart of Germany. The calmness, the clean air and the impressive views made the small village at the
ridge walk "Rennsteig" the center of tourism already in the 19th century. Winter sports has a long
tradition here. Today, the city boasts a unique concentration of winter sports facilities and the long-
term commitment to the next generation. Oberhof became one of the training centers of the
German Ski Association. The young athletes of the sports biathlon, cross-country skiing, Nordic
combination, ski jumping, luge, bobsleighing and skeleton learn at the sports gymnasium, where they
find the best training conditions. The breathtaking atmosphere during the annual World Cups, the
2004 Biathlon World Championships and the 2008 Luge World Championships, has shaped Oberhof's
tourism and winter sporting activities. And that is to be the case in future.

The competition area

The SKI ARENA am Rennsteig is located on the crest of the Rennsteig, two kilometers outside
Oberhof. With its completion in 2003, the appeal of ski competitions in Oberhof has increased
strongly. Here, World Cup competitions took place in cross-country and Nordic combinations. For
many years, Oberhof has also been an integral part of the World Cup calendar of the International
Biathlon Union. The stadium (814m above sea level) can accommodate around 10.000 spectators.
The competitions can also be followed on the course. Thanks to the extensive stretching network,
there are many possibilities: All biathlon competitions, individual or sprint, pursuit or mass start and
the relay competitions can be completed in Oberhof.

The arena is unrecognizable

The renovation work in the Oberhof Ski Arena continued last year. Thuringia, the Thuringian Winter
Sports Center and of course the executing companies with their workers did an incredible job.
Among other things, the route network has been expanded so that a 1,5-kilometer lap is now
available. The general infrastructure of the route network has also been expanded. In addition,
construction work on the new grandstands continued. The arena grandstands were partially
expanded and repaired. The new grandstands above the existing standing arena are also ready for
use. The tunnel network has also been expanded. The shell work for the new shooting range building
and another multi-purpose building are well advanced. At the competitions, everyone involved can
expect a new structure in the arena. The warm-up and start area has been relocated and the penalty
loop has also been relocated. All of this work was and will be carried out with a view to the Biathlon
World Championships in 2023.
