The men's team of Ukraine became the best among biathletes of the week according to the voting results on the official IBU resources.

The Ukrainian team consisting of Artem Tishchenko, Vitalii Mandzyn, Anton Dudchenko, and Dmytro Pidruchnyi delivered an impressive performance in the relay. They started the competition in ninth place, but thanks to a high level of skills and the use of additional cartridges, they were able to secure third place.
