According to TASS with reference to the IBU press service, the expert group was created to ensure the sustainable development of biathlon as part of long-term IBU strategies, as well as to discuss environmental, social and economic issues. According to Dahlmeier, she is "happy to be part of the team." The German also noted that it makes sense for the IBU to take a leading role in promoting sustainable development in sports.

“We can all help by consciously making the necessary decisions,” Dahlmeier said.

Earlier it was reported that two-time Olympic champion in biathlon Anna Bogaliy was nominated as a candidate on the board of the Russian Biathlon Union.
