Among the men, Belarusian Anton Smolsky won all three races. This result allowed our athlete to lead the overall standings of the tournament. The rest of the Belarusians could not get on the podium at the home stage. In the women’s part of the team, team leader Anna Sola performed poorly in the sprint and pursuit race, taking only 16th and 13th places, respectively, but she performed the mass start better than other participants and took the gold medal.
