The French biathlon team was disqualified in the single mixed relay in Otepää, Estonia. French athlete Émilien Jacquelin missed four shots in the final standing shooting and used four extra shots, exceeding the limit of three extra shots per shooting. He then skied one penalty lap too few.
According to SVT expert Björn Ferry, such mistakes can occur due to how extra shots are loaded on the rifle. Jacquelin did not stop for interviews after the competition.
