On March 7, at the “Kontiolahti” stadium in the Finnish town of the same name, where the 7th stage of the 2025/26 Biathlon World Cup is underway, the men’s 4 x 7.5 km relay race will take place.
The final men’s team relay of the current World Cup season.
At present, the Norwegians lead the team standings with 345 points. Norway’s team in the season’s final relay will consist of (Johannes Dale-Skjevdal, Johan-Olav Botn, Sturla Lægreid and Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen). All the biathletes mentioned above are in the top 10 of the individual overall standings.
The team France is in second place. The French are 30 points behind the Norwegians. For this race, the “tricolors’” coaching staff has selected newcomer Oscar Lombardo, Fabien Claude, Émilien Jacquelin and Quentin Fillon Maillet. France’s team leader, Éric Perrot, has apparently been given a little rest. Éric is competing for the “Big Crystal Globe.”
The Swedish team, led by Sebastian Samuelsson and Martin Ponsiluoma, will take to the course with the third starting number. The latter performed exceptionally well at the Olympics in Italy.
