Rather of the usual fifteen kilometers, it will be two and a half kilometers less, so the discipline with four shooting ranges resembles a mass start race in length. However,it starts with intervals,and instead of a penalty lap for each missed target,there is a 45-second penalty.
“I welcome the shortened race here in Nové Město, as the courses are more challenging and we are competing for the third week in a row,” admitted Lucie Charvátová.The classic individual race has only been held once so far this season, at the opening stop in Östersund, were Tereza Voborníková was the highest-placed czech at 24th.
Jessica Jislová will be the first to start on the course with number 13, followed by Lucie Charvátová with number 18, and Voborníková has number 26 as the highest-ranked Czech in the World Cup.
