The biathlon World Cup continues in Holmenkollen, Norway, with the seventh stage. The first competition of the day was the single-mixed relay.

The winners were the Norwegians, who narrowly edged out Sweden by 0.1 seconds, with the Finns reaching the finish line just over half a minute later. The leading trio formed during the third leg of the relay, with the Swedes initially in the lead. However, Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen, who anchored the Norwegian team, managed to reduce the gap from the leaders to three seconds with 600 meters to go and then caught up and surpassed Sweden at the finish line, thereby securing the gold for his team.

Representatives from Switzerland and France completed the top five.
