For the first time in his career, the Norwegian athlete Sturla Holm Laegreid dominated the overall ranking of the last season of the World Cup in biathlon, ahead of his compatriot Johannes Thingnes Boe, who was saying goodbye, and the third Eric Perrot from France. Among the women, the big crystal globe is defended by the German Franziska Preussová, who left behind Lou Jeanmonnotová from France by only twenty points.
The Czech competitors also have a lot to improve, among the men, Vítězslav Hornig was the best overall, twenty overall, and among the women, Tereza Voborníková was twenty-first. The injury spoiled the excellent season of the Czech number one Markéta Davidová, who eventually had to undergo back surgery. However, it should be ready for the upcoming Olympic season.
