Theo Bold (born 11 March 2006) is a German visually impaired para cross-country skier and para biathlete. He represented Germany at the 2026 Winter Paralympics.
Career
He competes together with his guide, usually his older brother Jakob Bold, who communicates course conditions and directions during races. The close cooperation between the brothers allows Bold to compete at high speed despite his limited eyesight.[3][4]
Bold first became involved in cross-country skiing after family ski holidays and encouragement from coaches who recognized his athletic potential. His brother later joined him as guide, and the two began competing together in national competitions.[5]
In December 2024, the Bold brothers made their debut in the FIS Para Cross-Country World Cup. They achieved strong early results, including sixth-place finishes in sprint races and a seventh place in the para sprint at the Nordic Ski World Championships in Trondheim.[5]
Bold made his Paralympic debut at the 2026 Winter Paralympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, competing in both para cross-country skiing and para biathlon events.[1][4]
