"A good variety for growing in a greenhouse. The bushes are compact and in a small area you can plant several plants at once. Especially liked in the sun. Tomatoes fit well in jars and do not crack. The Biathlon F1 did not cause much trouble with the care and cultivation of seedlings. I'm happy with the tomatoes."

Olga, 67

“I learned about this variety recently. Recommended by a friend. I also decided to plant a Biathlon F1. The seedlings sprouted together, after landing in a permanent place, they quickly got used to it and did not get sick. Tomatoes began to ripen early and almost all at once. This was especially gratifying. I was able to immediately roll them into jars, and not wait for the rest of the harvest. In general, it remained quite. I will plant next year.”
