In Gurnigel he came 19th in the pursuit in a again not particularly well-filled European Cup for the first time under the top ten. The biathlon world cup debut followed in 2007 in Oberhof .

The 2008 Biathlon World Championships in Östersund were his first world title fights. Allanson came 101st in the sprint and 97th in the individual. With the British season he was 23.
