The German biathlon coach Remo Krug no longer works for the Swiss association and has to look for a new job.
Bern – The 2023/24 Biathlon World Cup season is over and the athletes are on a well-deserved vacation. However, the individual associations do not have to think about having a lot of free time, because the coming winter has to be planned and prepared. This also includes an analysis of the past season and the filling of various positions. A German biathlon coach has now been hit and is no longer working for the Swiss association.
German biathlon coach Krug has to go
The Swiss have made a groundbreaking decision and restructured training. There is no more room for Remo Krug, his expiring contract has not been extended. In the future, men and women should work together in their respective training groups. Sandra Flunger and Kein Einaste will look after Switzerland's World Cup team from the 2024/25 season, while Andreas Kuppelwieser will support the group in terms of shooting, the association announced.

“On behalf of the entire team, I would like to thank Remo for his work with us. With his expertise and experience, he made an important contribution to the development of Swiss biathlon. Under his leadership, our men's team was able to successfully cope with the generational change that began after several resignations, which is illustrated by numerous top 10 classifications in the World Cup and places 5 and 6 in the national rankings," said Lukas Keel, Head of Biathlon at Swiss-Ski .

“With the restructuring and the associated bundling of strengths and competencies, we are convinced that we have been able to create the right framework conditions to be able to tackle the coming season in the elite area with the 2025 home World Cup in Lenzerheide in the best possible way,” Keel continued .
