 Mass start:
 The mass start is quite similar to the pursuit,
 but without time intervals at the start. All the
 athletes set off at the same time. So this is
 also a tense, exciting race with only the first
 25 competitors in the general World Cup
 classification and athletes with the top five
 performances in the current race taking part.

        Men
        Distance: 15 km – 5 circuits of 3 km with
        4 shooting sessions (prone/prone/
        standing/standing) + 1 circuit of 150 m
        for a missed target
