Biathlon Junior World Championships were first held in 1967 for men and in 1984 for women.

According to the International Biathlon Union rules, biathletes qualify as Junior if they turn 20, 21 or 22 during the season from November to October, they qualify as Youth when they turn 17, 18 or 19 during the season.[1]

History[]

The first venue was Altenberg (then East Germany). The age limit of the participating athletes is 20 years. On 24 June 2009, it was decided that Nove Mesto na Moravě (Czech Republic), Lahti (Finland) and Obertilliach (Austria) will be the venues for the World Junior Championships in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

The Biathlon Junior World Championships from 1967 to 1988 were held in the same period and in one venue as the World Championships.
