On September 7, the 5th Pomeranian Biathlon World Championships will be held at the Borgwall in Barth, on the club grounds of the Barth dragon boat club "Pommernexpress". Once again, biathlon fans from near and far will be taking on this special challenge. The catchment area of the teams extends from Hamburg to Thuringia, Berlin, Schwerin, Rostock and Ribnitz-Damgarten to the Barth twin town of Kolberg/Poland. The majority of the participants are from Barth, of course. Among them are teams that already took part in the 1st Pomeranian Biathlon competition in 2018, but also newcomers who now want to win the coveted trophy. Barth guests from Auetal/Lower Saxony, Düsseldorf, Thuringia and Poland also joined us as spectators. What is so special about the Pomeranian Biathlon?
We had to get creative for our "schnapps idea", as we are not known to live in the snowiest district - especially not in September. The trail is therefore made from wood chips. We also started with skis made of wood - specially made. Unfortunately, they increasingly failed to withstand the strain and we suffered enormous breakage. Now we had to make improvements for the 3rd Pomeranian Biathlon. New flexible material provided a remedy and was also subjected to special processing. At the same time, we switched from the old "GDR bangers" to laser rifles. All of this raised the level of the event and the standards of the athletes.
A relay team consisting of 4 people runs 2 laps of the course one after the other and has to shoot once lying down and once standing up. A wooden dummy rifle serves as a baton.
The individual running times and penalty times are measured when shooting. This also allows us to choose the best runner. All the times of a relay team are added together to determine the overall ranking and decide the coveted podium places.
The races are scheduled to start at 10 am on the hour up to and including 3 pm. The award ceremony is planned for around 4:30 pm.
At the time of writing, there were still places available. Interested parties can register informally by e-mail at pommernbiathlon@gmx.de .
