The 'idea & egrave; was put forward by Peter Kaiser, responsible for the sport of Land, assuming that "it would be the 'perfect build a polygon to create a training center for the biathlon. Cos & Igrave; doing we could take advantage of the boom in sport. The track roller skis & agrave already exists; and & egrave; proven adequate to support the needs & agrave; professionals ".
At the moment it is just a proposal and there is still no concrete plan, which would obviously have a cost. However the construction of a polygon in Villach would be important for the development of biathlon in Austria and especially of Carinthia.
Currently in fact the Austrian movement & egrave; It composed mainly of athletes from Tyrol and Salzburg (in fact the main training centers are Hochfilzen, Obertilliach and Saalfelden). Other L & auml; nder are marginal and only the Styria has its own tank, well-pi & ugrave; for small & ograve; that of the two mentioned above.
Yet the region has something & egrave; He failed to produce. The veteran Daniel Mesotitsch & egrave; a native of Villach. Also among the new recruits c '' & egrave; also the Carinthian Dunja Zdouc, which for & ograve; He had to "migrate" in Saalfelden to grow in competitions.
So the construction of a polygon in Villach would give new life to the Austrian movement that would find an additional reservoir from which to draw. It remains to be seen whether the 'idea of ​​Kaiser potr & agrave; be put into practice. No doubt the creation of firing will & agrave; a burden and will & agrave; then need a further investment in addition to that achieved for the jump.
