History

The development of biathlon in the Republic of Moldova began

the formation of the team national in this kind of sport.

The national biathlon team of the Republic of Moldova was formed under the auspices of the Federation of Modern Pentathlon and Biathlon. Alexandr Odinokov - a coach from the Russian Federation became the head coach of the team (1992-1994).

The Biathlon Federation of the Republic of Moldova was established on May 12, 1993, as a non-governmental organization - the official leading forum of biathlon in the Republic of Moldova.
