While the leaders were wrong: Khalili and Egorova won individual races in the Russian Cup final. In women's competition, Tamara Derbusheva again missed the competition.
The biathlon season is slowly coming to an end. All that remains is the national championship and the last stage of the Commonwealth Cup. The organizers decided to shorten them because of the Universiade, which is being held at the sports complex on the same days. Therefore, girls had to run only 12.5 km, and men - 15 km.
