The 2021 Biathlon World Championships, scheduled to take place in Pokljuka on 9-21 February next year, will have a new and special mascot in Jurček the Gnome, who is joining the chamois as the informal mascot of all biathlon competitions on the Alpine plateau in north-western Slovenia.
The gnome, is a “friend of the chamois and the hero of a story that brings a message of the importance of nature protection, exercise and sports to young generations,” the organisers said.
