Jack Bloor Fund supports Biathlon.

We have supported .c1arke throughout his career, we wish him continued success as a senior 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Once again, thank you to the Jack Bloor Award for supporting me in attending my last Junior World Champs in Germany, Arber. I had some good improvements in my performance from previous years at the champs, especially in the shooting element of biathlon where I was a top 15 overall from the championships. Looking forward to the summer of training ahead before I start my senior career in biathlon.

Thanks,
Ethan
