On January 14, the fifth stage of the Biathlon World Cup of the 2025/2026 season ended in Ruhpolding, Germany.. The competition consisted of three disciplines: sprint, pursuit and relay..

Chiemgau Arena is located in Bavaria and is considered one of the most atmospheric and visited arenas in world biathlon. The tracks here are relatively flat, without long climbs, which often leads to close competition and minimal gaps at the finish..

A special role in Ruhpolding is played by the shooting range, which is open to the wind and requires maximum concentration from athletes.. Even with a comfortable track terrain, mistakes at the shooting ranges often become a decisive factor.. The support of the stands, which annually attract tens of thousands of fans, makes the stage in Ruhpolding one of the most emotional and unpredictable of the season.

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.
