Hinter den Kulissen des deutschen Biathlons: Ein unermüdlicher Held Drei Medaillen bei der Biathlon-WM 2023 in Oberhof, Arnd Peiffer als Weltmeister im Sprint 2011 und Michael Greis als dreifacher Olympiasieger 2006 – was verbindet all diese Erfolge? Einen Helden im Hintergrund, der zu den größten Erfolgen im deutschen Biathlon-Team beigetragen hat: Sandro – „Brisi“ – Brislinger. Der Waffentechniker perfektioniert seit fast drei Jahrzehnten die Gewehre nahezu aller deutschen Biathletinnen und Biathleten. Handwerkliche Präzision und Hingabe Sandro Brislinger ist eine konstante Anlaufstelle für viele Biathlon-Stars, die regelmäßig nach Oberhof kommen, um ihre Gewehre gemeinsam mit ihm anzupassen. Seit 1995 ist er eng mit dem Bundeswehrstützpunkt in Oberhof verbunden und trägt maßgeblich zum Erfolg der deutschen Biathletinnen und Biathleten bei. Individuelle Anpassung für maximale Leistung In seiner Werkstatt legt Sandro Brislinger die Grundlagen für die individuellen Schäfte der Athletinnen und Athleten. „Meine Aufgaben sind es, einen exklusiven Schaft zu bauen, das System zu modifizieren, die Munition auszusuchen und die Läufe zu testen,“ erklärt er. Jedes Detail wird angepasst – von der Visierlinie bis zur Schaftlänge – um sicherzustellen, dass das Gewehr perfekt auf die Bedürfnisse der Sportlerinnen und Sportler abgestimmt ist. Die Belohnung für harte Arbeit Die Erfolge des Teams sind für Sandro Brislinger eine besondere Belohnung: „Wenn man sieht, wie viel Kleinarbeit in den Schäften steckt und ein paar Monate später wird der Athlet Weltmeister, dann macht einen das unheimlich stolz.“ Während die Athletinnen und Athleten um Medaillen kämpfen, bleibt Sandro Brislinger der ruhige Held im Hintergrund – ein unverzichtbarer Teil im deutschen Biathlon-Team.

Survival and Bushcrafting: Essential Skills for Outdoor Enthusiasts 🌲 As the leading exhibition for hunting, target sports, and outdoor activities, IWA OutdoorClassics is not just an exhibition but a hub for industry professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Survival focuses on enduring extreme situations and being completely self-sufficient. This includes skills such as obtaining water, making fire, building emergency shelters, and navigating without modern tools. Bushcrafting, on the other hand, is about long-term living in nature. It involves using natural resources to build permanent shelters, identify edible plants, and craft tools from natural materials. Read our new article and get glimpse of both disciplines as we were part of this years Survival Rally, hosted by Amelie Eichinger-Noll. 📎 https://lnkd.in/eJf6jgTD #IWA2025 #Survival #Bushcrafting #OutdoorSkills #IndustryLeaders
