Russian biathlete Yevgeny Garanichev forgot his sticks and started late at the World Cup forgetting ski poles. This was reported by Match TV.
The Russian athlete started after number 117. In total, he was 35 seconds late.
Swedish biathlete Sebastian Samuelsson became the winner of the sprint. The second result was shown by the Norwegian Vetle Sjastad Christiansen. His compatriot Johannes Beh was third. The best of the Russians was Alexander Loginov. He finished tenth.
On November 27, biathlete Eduard Latypov mistakenly went to the firing line instead of the finishing line during the individual 20 km race. Because of this, he lost his chances of being among the winners.
