After several months, the Biathlon World Cup is back for a 2023-2024 edition during which the French Team will be keen to perform. Among the men, Quentin Fillon Maillet will return with a spirit of revenge, he who did not finish on the podium during the last edition, a first since 2018-2019. Among the women, Julia Simon will have to fight to retain her title of world champion in the general classification obtained last year, to the detriment of the Italian Dorothea Wierer, twice crowned with the crystal globe.
The first stage will therefore take place from November 25 to December 4, on the Swedish site of Östersund which opens the competition for the seventeenth time since the year 2000. The prestigious stadium hosts a stage of the competition each year, on the contrary from France which will not receive any stage this year. On the program for this stage, all disciplines, with the exception of mass start, will be in the spotlight: relay, sprint, pursuit and individual. Your biathlon weekend will consist of the single mixed relay, on Saturday November 25 at 12:30 p.m., then the mixed relay, still Saturday but at 2:50 p.m. Sunday, November 26, the women’s individual events will take place at 11:20 a.m. and men’s events at 2:30 p.m.
