British Biathlon proudly celebrates Chloe DuPont on International Women’s Day, a young athlete whose determination, resilience, and upward trajectory mark her as one of the most exciting prospects in the sport. Chloe represents the new generation of British biathletes: ambitious, grounded, and unafraid to take on the world’s toughest stages.


From Junior Cup to the World Stage

Chloe’s journey through the British Biathlon pathway has been defined by steady progression and unwavering commitment. Transitioning from the Junior Cup to the IBU Cup is a significant step for any athlete, but Chloe has done so with maturity, consistency, and a hunger to learn. Her performances this season have earned her multiple World Cup starts, a testament to her growing capability and the trust placed in her by the coaching team.

Each race has strengthened her experience, sharpened her resilience, and shown that she belongs among the world’s best.

Courage in the Face of Disappointment

This season brought Chloe agonisingly close to Olympic qualification, a near‑miss that would test any athlete. For many, such a moment could derail confidence. For Chloe, it became fuel.

She absorbed the disappointment with grace, returned to training with renewed focus, and continued to deliver strong performances on the IBU Cup circuit. Her response speaks volumes about her character: she is an athlete who refuses to be defined by setbacks, who sees challenge as opportunity, and who keeps moving forward.

A Team Player With Global Commitment

Chloe’s dedication to the team extends far beyond her own results. She is known for her positivity, her willingness to support teammates, and her ability to bring calm and cohesion to the group. This season, she demonstrated extraordinary commitment by flying directly from the IBU Cup in the USA to join the World Cup team for the final trimester, stepping into the highest level of competition with professionalism and readiness.

Her adaptability, resilience, and team-first mindset make her an invaluable part of the British Biathlon community.

A Future Filled With Potential

Chloe’s trajectory is unmistakably upward. She has the physical engine, the technical skill, and most importantly the mindset required to succeed in biathlon’s demanding environment. Her experiences this season have accelerated her development, giving her the confidence and racecraft needed to push further in the years ahead.

She is part of a generation of young women redefining what is possible for British athletes in winter sport. Her journey is only just beginning, and the future holds enormous promise.

A Role Model for Young Women in Sport

On International Women’s Day, Chloe stands as an example of what determination, resilience, and belief can achieve. She shows young women across the UK that high‑performance sport is a place for them a place where they can grow, compete, lead, and dream boldly.
