Marisa Emonts (born November 18, 2005, in Munich) is a Belgian-German biathlete. She is the daughter of Ralph Emonts, a Belgian athlete who competed in the IBU Cup in the late 2010s.[1] Ralph Emonts, originally from Kelmis in the german-speaking part of Belgium, moved his family for work reasons to Bavaria, Germany where his daughter was born and now trains in Ruhpolding.[2] [3] After two appearances at the Biathlon Youth World Championships in 2021 and 2022, she switched to the German federation but after failing to secure international selection with her birth country, turned back to continue to represent Belgium internationally.[4] She represented Belgium at the 2026 Winter Olympics as a member of the first ever Belgian women's biathlon relay at the Games.[5]
