Otepää

Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Lägreid clinched the men's sprint World Cup overall title after tying on points with Sweden's Sebastian Samuelsson. Lägreid secured the championship because he had more race wins than his rival.

Sweden secured victory in the mixed relay in Otepää, with Elvira Öberg's unconventional tactics playing a key role, while their performance in Kontiolax faced contradictory reports.

France was disqualified in the single mixed relay in biathlon in Otepää after Émilien Jacquelin used too many extra shots and then skied one penalty lap too few. Sweden finished second in the race but also faced a disqualification in a junior women's relay event.
