A total of 21 relays were presented, of which the Swedes managed the introductory section the best. But Jessica Jislová also did very well, she needed a single spare charge at the shooting range and she also managed to run cross-country, so she passed the fifth with a loss of only five seconds to the third Italian. “I would say I started it well. When both items came to me insanely light, by the end they had enough legs, but I left everything on the track, “Jislová told ČT.
Charvátová was very fast on skis and arrived third on the lager of the second section, with only a slight loss to Brorsson. Although she had to recharge three times, she managed it without having to visit the penalty round. They kept pace with the Swedish relay thanks to the perfect shooting of France and Italy.

Extremely strong for running, Charvát arrived at the shooting range at the fifth standing position, only four seconds behind Ukraine. But it absolutely burned out, only eight targets were hit from eight shots !!! The scarecrow of responsibility from the past appeared again, the Czech biathlete was completely knocked out. “I tried to be brave, but unfortunately I didn’t succeed at all,” she said disappointed.

Despite the maximum use of spare ammunition, he had to go to four penalty rounds. Charvátová tried to alleviate the pain at least a little on skis and, thanks to the second cross-country run, she passed the tenth in her section, but she was more than two minutes apart from the dominant relays of France and Sweden.
Markéta Davidová did her maximum cross-country skiing in the third section, she had the best time on skis in her section and before the second shooting item she had a real chance to pull the baton to sixth place. But the best of the national team did not even have three spare rounds to clean all the targets while standing. Despite the penalty round, she passed the ninth to Eva Puskarčíková, a finisher.

The final member of the Czech relay shot the bed cleanly and quickly, in less than twenty seconds. During the stand, she even got into a fight for fourth place, but she succumbed to the atmosphere and did not cope with the winds of various revolutions. She was left with two targets, which meant circling 300 meters more and falling to 11th place in the finish.
