Dear Biathlon Friends On behalf of the Kontiolahti Sport club and the Organizing committee I have the great pleasure of welcoming you to 21st Biathlon Masters Inernational Championships in Kontiolahti. I am very happy, that this year we again have nearly 200 athletes from 14 different countries. Masters in Kontiolahti is the event, that brings together biathlon friends from all over the world. At the same we organizers and volunteers can experience the feeling of belonging together, to the same community with you. The atmosphere in Masters has always been something special. As you know we always have snow in Kontiolahti, but this season has been like old-time winters. Hopefully the wonderful weather will last over the the race and the sun will smile with all of us. I wish you the best of success and a pleasant stay in Kontiolahti and in North Karelia. Tapani Rönkkö Chairman of Organizing Committee
