One of the team members is the patrol leader, three are patrol members, each of whom fires from a prone position and fires one shot at the center of his installation. In case of misses - penalty loops according to the number of team misses according to IBU rules.

Sprint– a type of biathlon race of 10 km for men and 7.5 km for women with two shooting ranges. Biathletes start at intervals of 30 seconds. After the first round, shooting is done from a prone position, after the second - standing. Biathletes themselves choose firing positions at the shooting range for shooting. For each miss there is a penalty loop of 150 m.

Mixed relay- team competition in biathlon. The team consists of four athletes (two women and two men). Each biathlete goes through one stage, which is 6 km for women and 7.5 km for men, with two shooting ranges.

One representative from each country starts at the same time and, having completed their stage, passes the baton to the next biathlete from their team. Women complete their distances first, then men. At each stage there are two shootings: the first is lying down, the second is standing. The athlete has three spare cartridges for each shooting session. If a biathlete runs out of spare cartridges, then for each subsequent miss a penalty loop of 150 m is provided.
