IPSC and KAHLES partnership continues for the second year
We are pleased to announce that the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) and KAHLES will continue the successful partnership in 2021 and further exploit the common goal to promote the sport shooting disciplines of the IPSC.
“We at KAHLES are grateful for the professional co-operation and the opportunities this partnership provides to us. Despite the pandemic challenges we have been able to intensify our networking with the IPSC community, sharpening our understanding of the challenges of this sport and feed it to our product engineers.
Based on insights from some of the best IPSC athletes we have launched the KAHLES K 18i. The specially designed IPSC reticle or the MAXLIGHT function which offers the brightest illumination dot in the market can help to bring athletes to the next level. And there is more to come.
In 2020 we have more than doubled the numbers of KAHLES riflescopes in the short action segment. We take this as a proof that the community values both, our efforts to enhance performance of our customers as well as the partnership with IPSC, for which we are very proud of.
We thank Vitaly Kryuchin, IPSC President, and his team for the friendship and professional co-operation and are looking forward to another successful year of partnership.” said Christian Hahn, Head of Product Management, KAHLES.
“Practical shooting is a technical sport and a lot depends on the equipment of the athlete. In IPSC we can use only high quality and reliable firearms and equipment. KAHLES, together with our top athletes, successfully created a new rifle scope that meets all the requirements of our sport.
I am very glad that our cooperation and partnership have led to the best product for the athletes and increase in sales of our Major Partner last year and I hope it will grow in the future!” said Vitaly Kryuchin, IPSC President.
IPSC and KAHLES entered into a partnership for riflescopes in the field of ‘IPSC Rifle’ in 2020.
The common goal is to promote the sport shooting disciplines of IPSC and to contribute to further expanding the IPSC community of today more than 200.000 members worldwide by providing the best product to the IPSC athletes.

En 2020, hemos duplicado con creces el número de visores KAHLES en el segmento de acción corta. Tomamos esto como una prueba de que la comunidad valora tanto nuestros esfuerzos para mejorar el desempeño de nuestros clientes como la asociación con IPSC, de la cual estamos muy orgullosos.
Agradecemos a Vitaly Kryuchin, presidente de IPSC, ya su equipo por la amistad y la cooperación profesional, y esperamos otro año exitoso de asociación ”. dijo Christian Hahn, director de gestión de productos de KAHLES.

KAHLES, junto con nuestros mejores atletas, creó con éxito una nueva mira telescópica que cumple con todos los requisitos de nuestro deporte.
¡Estoy muy contento de que nuestra cooperación y asociación hayan llevado al desarrollo de un mejor producto para los atletas y al aumento de las ventas de nuestro socio principal el año pasado y espero que crezca en el futuro! ” dijo Vitaly Kryuchin, presidente de IPSC.

BY ATHLETES FOR ATHLETES: THE ITA CONTINUES RAISING CLEAN SPORT AWARENESS WITH PUBLIC WEBINAR SERIES
After a successful pilot series of publicly available clean sport webinars tailored to the needs of athletes and support personnel, the International Testing Agency (ITA) continues to cover important anti-doping topics in 2021. Supporting the delivery of this important initiative is Informed Sport, a global testing and certification program for sports supplements.
In an effort to provide continuous and relevant anti-doping education during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic, the ITA shifted its learning activities from event-based education to virtual sessions. In addition to custom education programs delivered to its partners, the ITA rolled out a series of five webinars that covered key anti-doping topics. These webinars were public and freely accessible, consistent with ITA’s belief in athlete empowerment with knowledge and information as one of the most effective ways to protect clean sport.
Thousands of athletes, athlete support personnel, members of federations and medical staff from all over the world joined the sessions and contributed to a dynamic discussion with the ITA education staff, guest athletes and expert voices. New topics and questions that needed to be covered emerged, and so the ITA continues the series on the 28th of January (please find the details further below) and is planning to introduce one webinar per month to the sports community.
“The ITA webinar series is a great opportunity for the global anti-doping community to connect, learn and discuss key topics and important issues”, says Christine Girard, Olympic bronze and gold medalist in weightlifting. “After sharing my story during the ITA webinar pilot series last year, I joined the ITA team as an ambassador and I am looking forward to delivering educational events once the pandemic is under control. In the meantime, it is important that we remain connected virtually and keep clean sport conversations going.”
Supporting this initiative is Informed Sport, a certification program for sports supplements, making sure that athletes do not ingest substances that are listed on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA’s) Prohibited List. The ITA has entered a collaboration with Informed Sport that will ensure professional delivery of the webinars throughout the year and that athletes from all over the world have free access to high-quality anti-doping education.
Terence O’Rorke, Business Development Manager of LGC (the managing company of Informed Sport) is convinced about the aligned objectives of both organisations: “Informed Sport was created to help athletes manage the risks associated with supplements use, so we are delighted to support the ITA and its webinar series. We have a long and distinguished heritage in testing and anti-doping, and sponsorship of the ITA webinar series for athletes will help to further continue this. Supplements are a reality of modern sport at all levels, and through our agreement with the ITA we are looking to provide additional guidance to athletes on how to minimize any risks and improve decision making around supplements use.”

IPSC General Assembly is to decide whether to adopt the target.
