The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) has expressed serious concerns that proposed firearms legislation in New South Wales could effectively eliminate biathlon as an Olympic and Paralympic sport in Australia. The legislation would reclassify the 22-calibre rimfire rifles used in biathlon, preventing athletes from competing internationally or at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina. Biathlon Australia is seeking amendments to the Bill to maintain the current classification or recognize sport shooting as a valid reason for owning the affected firearms. The Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party has indicated it will introduce an amendment to address the issue.
