Belarus' first World Cup competition would have been decided on March 3-6 next year.

But that will not be the case.

"The decision to move the competitions was made in light of the current situation in Belarus," the IBU writes on its website, announcing that the competitions will instead be moved to Kontiolahti, Finland.

This in turn means that Kontiolahti will not host the World Cup premiere on November 27-28.

The premiere competitions are moved to Östersund, which also means that the World Cup stays in Sweden, two weekends in a row.

Östersund is already the host during the first regular week, 2-5 December.
