Set an athlete's IBU ID

Link an athlete to their IBU race results by filling in their IBU ID on the athlete's card.

Yarmill matches each biathlete to the IBU results database (SIWIDATA) through their IBU ID. Fill it in once on the athlete's card, and Yarmill can connect the athlete to their race results and stats.

Yarmill is configured for each team, so the exact fields you see may differ from this guide. The IBU ID field is part of the biathlon setup — if you don't see it in Athlete profiles, ask your administrator.

What the IBU ID is

Every athlete registered with the International Biathlon Union has a unique identifier — for example BTCZE20301199701 for Marketa Davidova. Yarmill uses this ID to pair the athlete with their IBU race data, so imported results and race analyses always refer to the right person. Without it, the athlete's IBU results can't be linked to their Yarmill record.

Find the ID on biathlonworld.com

The ID is public — it's the last part of the athlete's profile address on the IBU website.

Open biathlonworld.com

Go to biathlonworld.com and select BIATHLETES in the menu.

Search for the athlete

In the Search athlete field, start typing the athlete's name — for example "Davidova". Matching athletes appear as you type.

The BIATHLETES page — search the athlete by name.
Open the athlete's profile

Select the athlete in the results list. If several athletes share a surname, check the first name and the nationality flag before opening the profile.

Copy the ID from the address bar

In your browser's address bar, the IBU ID is the part of the address after the last slash. Copy it.

Enter the ID in Yarmill

Open the athlete's card

In Athlete profiles, open the card. As a coach or administrator, select the athlete from the group panel on the left; as an athlete, you land directly on your own card.

Fill in the IBU ID

In Personal information, select the pencil next to IBU ID and paste the copied ID. Letter case doesn't matter — an ID copied in lowercase works too.

The ID appears on the athlete's card — the athlete is now linked to their IBU race data.
Set the ID for every athlete who races IBU events, ideally as part of setting up a new athlete's card — results can only connect for athletes whose ID is filled in.
