MIXED RELAY M+W
The relay is a fast-paced team event in which four-person teams tackle four 7.5km legs totalling 30km for the men, and four 6km legs totalling 24km for the women. In the mixed relay, both men and women tackle two 6km legs totalling 24km per team. The event begins with a mass start by the first skiers of the respective teams. Each team member has two firing sequences and is allowed three extra bullets (a total of eight) to hit five targets at each shooting stage yet must load the three extra bullets one by one. For each target left standing, competitors ski a lap around the 150m penalty loop.
