Biathlon pursuit is a combination of cross-country skiing and rifle shooting, in two standing and two prone series. Competitors start together, and the time gap is determined based on the results of the previous sprint race. The sprint winner starts first, and the others start with the gap they had in the sprint.
For each miss on the shooting range, the competitor must go to the penalty circle.
