2025, Lucas Rhodes, British Biathlon Selection Races, Austria/Germany

Thanks to the Jack Bloor Fund for helping me to have the opportunity to compete at the British selection races in Obertilliach, Austria. It was such a great experience to have under my belt, developing my understanding of the sport and improving my mental and physical toughness in racing. It was great to see and feel such a community presence from all different countries and feel included no matter what level you are it was a huge learning curve and I’m excited to hone in on this and learn as much as possible. 

Lucas is aiming to get selected for the 2026 Youth World Championships at the end of February in Germany, he has a few more races to reach the standard required for selection. This was Lucas’s first race experience.
