On January 22, the sixth stage of the Biathlon World Cup of the 2025/2026 season ended in the Czech city of Nove Mesto.. The competition will consist of four disciplines: short individual race, single relay, single mixed relay and mass start..

The stage traditionally took place at the Vysocina Arena stadium, one of the most famous biathlon complexes in Central Europe. The arena is located near the town of Nove Mesto na Morave in the Vysocina region, in a wooded area on a hilly plateau. The stadium is compact, with stands as close as possible to the track and shooting range, which creates a completely immersive effect for spectators.

The tracks in Nove Mesto are considered among the most demanding on the World Cup calendar. Elevation changes, frequent ascents and high-speed descents require high physical readiness from biathletes, and the shooting range is often complicated by gusty winds. Even in good shape, athletes here find it difficult to complete races to zero, so the shooting factor often becomes decisive.

A special feature of the stage in Nove Mesto is the atmosphere: Czech fans steadily fill the stands and actively support athletes from all teams. The races take place in a dense background noise, which is especially noticeable at the shooting range and the final laps.

The only broadcaster of the tournament in Ukraine is “Suspilne Sport”: all competitions are shown live on digital platforms and regional channels.

In addition, free broadcasting is available on the official IBU website. Broadcasts races and Eurosport, included in the “Optimal” subscription of the Megogo media service.
