Career

[edit]

Natalia Sidorowicz made her international debut at the 2016 Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer, finishing 46th and 41st in the sprint and pursuit races. In the 2016/17 season, she competed in the junior category but did not achieve notable results. The following year, Sidorowicz won her first individual medal, securing bronze in the mixed relay at the 2018 IBU Junior Open European Championships with Joanna Jakieła, Przemysław Pancerz, and Marcin Szwajnos. At the subsequent Junior World Championships, she improved on her previous year's performance, with her best individual result being 12th place in the sprint.

In early 2019, Sidorowicz made her debut in the IBU Cup at her home races in Duszniki-Zdrój, followed by her first podium finish in the IBU Junior Cup. After a season marked by average results, the Polish athlete permanently joined the IBU Cup in the 2020/21 season, achieving a 17th place in the short individual race in Osrblie. She also participated in the 2021 IBU Open European Championships held in her home country.

In January 2022, Sidorowicz made her World Cup debut in Ruhpolding, finishing 94th in the sprint. With the women's relay team consisting of Monika Hojnisz-Staręga, Kamila Żuk, and Anna Mąka, she secured a 10th place. At the European Championships, she excelled in the pursuit competition under extreme conditions, being the only athlete to hit 18 out of 20 targets and improving her position by 33 places to finish eighth. In the winter of 2022/23, Sidorowicz consistently competed at the highest level, narrowly missing her first World Cup points by finishing 42nd in the sprint race in Le Grand-Bornand. She also participated in the World Championships, where the Polish women's relay team finished ninth. In August 2023, she narrowly missed her first senior-level medal, finishing fourth in the sprint event at the Summer Biathlon World Championships.
