The sprint competition is most similar to the individual competition, it is however, significantly shorter. Speed is more significant than shooting accuracy, because a missed target is penalized with 150 additional meters (a penalty loop). It is only difficult to make up the missed seconds after three penalty loops.
- A 150 m penalty loop can be completed in 21 to 26 seconds
- Two shooting bouts for all classes (prone and standing)
Duration: About 26 Minutes
Women: three 2.5km rounds
Men: three rounds of 3.4 and 3 km or three times 3.3 km
