As OBOZ.UA reported earlier, at the 4th stage, the Norwegian biathlon team got into a curious situation during the relay. Sturla Legreid did not find a partner during the transfer of the baton.

It should be noted that the Ukrainian men's biathlon team had a failed relay race. Our team, consisting of Artem Pryma, Dmytro Pidruchnyi, Anton Dudchenko and Vitaliy Mandzin, took the penultimate place out of 14 teams that finished.

After that, Ukraine's women's national team finished eighth in the relay. Olena Horodna, Yulia Dzhima, Anastasia Merkushyna and Khrystyna Dmytrenko raced with one penalty lap, lagging behind the leader by more than 5 minutes.
