Plechacova, Guy Shine as IBU Youth World Championships Kick Off with Individual Races

Posted : 27 February 2025

The IBU Youth World Championships began with individual races, featuring a 10-kilometer event for the women and a 12.5-kilometer race for the men. By the end of the competition, the gold medals were claimed by athletes from the Czech Republic and France, highlighting strong performances from both nations. The opening event set the stage for an exciting championship, with young biathletes demonstrating their skills in both skiing and shooting.

 

Ilona Plechacova of the Czech Republic continued her impressive season by securing victory in the women’s event. Following her success in the IBU Junior Cup sprint and her World Cup relay debut, she dominated the race despite three missed shots, finishing 48 seconds ahead of Italy’s Carlotta Gautero, who had the best shooting performance among the top three with only two misses.

 

 Slovenia’s Manca Caserman, the first competitor on the track, also missed three targets but managed to claim the bronze medal, rounding off a competitive podium.

 

In the men’s race, France’s Antonin Guy reaffirmed his dominance in the individual event, adding another gold medal to his collection after winning the same discipline at the Youth Olympic Games. With just one miss in his final shooting stage, he secured the victory, while Poland’s Grzegorz Galica finished a close second, only five seconds behind despite two misses.

 

 France celebrated further success as Leo Carlier took third place, missing twice and finishing just nine seconds behind his teammate. The French team had a strong overall showing, with Camille Grataloup-Manissolle placing fifth and Flavio Guy securing ninth.
