Career

Martin Uldal's first international championship was the European Youth Olympic Festival in 2019, where he did not achieve top-10 placements. The following year, he participated in the Youth World Championships in Lenzerheide, winning gold in the relay event but missing individual medals due to shooting misses. [3] He made a strong comeback at the Junior World Championships in 2022, winning bronze medals in all disciplines, including the relay race, and becoming the most successful athlete of the championship. [4] He earned his first World Cup points at the season finale in Oslo in 2022/23. Uldal was then included in the B-team of the national team for the 2022/23 season and competed in the IBU Cup, winning races in Idre and Ridnaun. He finished sixth overall in the IBU Cup standings. In the 2023/24 season at the IBU Cup, he won two races and finished runner-up on seven other occasions. At the end of the season he finished fourth in the overall standings.
