The International Biathlon Union is the international umbrella organization
of all organizations representing the sport of biathlon and those who have an
interest in the sport. The IBU was founded in 1993 as independent association
under the umbrella of the UIPMB alongside the UIPM (Union Internationale de
Pentathlon Moderne). The IBU separated from UIPMB in 1998. Since that time, the
International Olympic Committee (IOC) has recognized the IBU and the UIPM as two
International Olympic Sports Organizations. Its Headquarters is in Salzburg,
Austria.
The IBU holds all rights pertaining to Biathlon World Championships (senior,
junior, and youth), Biathlon World Cups, Biathlon Continental Championships, and
Biathlon Continental Cups.

Its flag is white with its logo and with 5 narrow vertical stripes at the hoist,
blue, yellow, black, green and red. Flag is used without the stripes as well.

Just in case anyone hasn't noticed this, I'll point out that those stripes are
the colours of the Olymic rings, and in the same order as on the Olympic flag.
