Sprint (10 km)

Main article: Biathlon at the 2006 Winter Olympics - Men's Sprint

In the sprint competition, the biathletes ski three loops of a track. Shooting occurs after the first and second loops. The first shooting session is from the prone position, the second from a standing position. Each shooting session consists of five shots. Missing a target incurs a penalty of extra distance—the biathlete must complete a 150 metre penalty loop for each shot missed. The distance of each loop is 3.3 kilometres, for a total length of 10 kilometres. Ole Einar Bjørndalen of Norway was the defending World and Olympic champion, but as in the individual competition, Germany's Michael Greis leads the World Cup standings, with three more Germans in the top six ^[1].

Pursuit (12.5 km)

60 athletes can compete - the athletes who placed among the top 60 in the sprint event. The pursuit competition is heavily based upon the results of the sprint. The gold medallist in the sprint event starts first. The silver medallist starts second, with an interval between the starts equal to the amount of time behind the leader that the silver medallist finished the sprint. Gold Medal is an album by American band The Donnas, released in 2004. ...

Each biathlete completes five loops of the track. After the first and second loops, the competitor fires five shots from the prone position. Similarly, the third and fourth loops are followed by five more shots each, this time from the standing position. Missed shots result in the biathlete having to complete a 150 metre penalty loop for each target missed. The first competitor to cross the finish line is the winner, unlike the individual and sprint competitions in which best time is used. The men's pursuit uses a 2.5 kilometre loop, to cover a total of 12.5 kilometres.

Any competitor who is lapped by another is disqualified. The men's event was scheduled for 18 February, immediately following the women's event. February 18 is the 49th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ...

Bjørndalen was the defending World and Olympic champion in this event as well, but is placed fourth in the World Cup, behind Germany's Michael Rösch, Frenchman Raphaël Poirée and another German, Sven Fischer^[2].

The format is similar to that of the pursuit competition, consisting of five loops of the track, each 3 kilometres in length, plus penalty loops and four shooting sessions (in the order prone, prone, standing, standing).

Relay (4 x 7.5 km)

The top 20 teams compete in the relay event, though only biathletes that have qualified for individual competition can be part of a relay team. Teams consist of four members. The competition begins with the first member of each team participating in a mass start. Each team member skis three loops of the 2.5 kilometre track, firing five shots from the prone position after the first loop and from the standing position after the second. If the athlete misses one or more shots, he is allowed to use up to three extra shots, which have to be individually reloaded. If the athlete has still failed to hit all the targets, he must ski a 150 metre penalty loop for each miss. The second and subsequent members of the team begin their three loops when tagged by the preceding biathlete. Final rankings are determined by the order in which the final member of each team crosses the finish line.
