On Thursday, December 18, at the ski resort of Le Grand-Bornand, near the French town of Annecy, the third stage of the Biathlon World Cup took place. The program includes a sprint, pursuit and mass start..

This is one of the most atmospheric stages of the Biathlon World Cup, which takes place in Haute-Savoie at the foot of the Alps.. The competition is hosted by the Le Grand-Bornand – Sylvie Becaert stadium, located in a mountain valley with picturesque panoramas and a compact arena, where the stands are as close as possible to the track and shooting range. The stage is known for its mild alpine climate, frequent vagaries of weather and difficult snow, which makes the race unpredictable and tactically intense.

The history of the stage in Le Grand-Bornand began in 2013, and since then it has become one of the hallmarks of French biathlon. Tens of thousands of fans traditionally gather here, creating a noisy, almost football atmosphere, especially during performances by the track owners. The tracks are distinguished by their terrain with alternating short ascents and high-speed descents, and the shooting range often tests athletes with wind that literally changes from shot to shot.
