Biathlon World Championships 1998

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 33rd Biathlon World Championships held in March 1998 in Pokljuka, Slovenia, and for the second time in Hochfilzen, Austria[1] were only for the pursuit races (Pokljuka) and the team events (Hochfilzen) because these were not part of the Olympic programme in Nagano.
