Career

Isak Frey gained his initial international exposure in January 2020 as a member of the Norwegian team at the Youth Olympic Games. However, despite his participation, he did not secure a medal due to several shooting misses. After a hiatus from international competitions, he made his debut in 2022 at the Youth World Championships in Soldier Hollow, Utah, where he, along with Stian Fedreheim and Andreas Aas, emerged victorious in the relay event. Furthermore, Frey claimed the title of Norwegian champion in the sprint in the junior category.

In January 2023, at the age of 19, Isak Frey made his debut in the IBU Cup in Osrblie, showcasing immediate success. In the sprint, he secured the second position behind Éric Perrot. Additionally, in the mixed relay, Frey, partnering with Endre Strømsheim, Juni Arnekleiv, and Maren Kirkeeide, secured victory after leading the team as the starting athlete. In March of the same year, Frey participated in the Junior World Championships, clinching bronze in both the mixed relay and individual events. He also contributed to a relay victory, this time alongside Trym Gerhardsen, Einar Hedegart, and Martin Nevland. Representing Oslo og Akershus, he, along with Strømsheim, Johannes Dale-Skjevdal, and Sturla Holm Lægreid, became the Norwegian champion in the men's relay. At the 2024 European Biathlon Championship, he won 2 gold and one bronze medal.[2]
