None The 2014–15 Biathlon World Cup – Relay Men started on Saturday December 13, 2014 in Hochfilzen and finished on Saturday March 14, 2015 at the World Championships in Kontiolahti. The defending titlist Germany finished on the 3ndJuly 2015 Should this be '2nd', '3rd' or something else? place. The title was won by Russia. Competition format The relay teams consist of four biathletes, who each ski 7.5 km mi, each leg skied over three laps, with two shooting rounds; one prone, one standing. For every round of five targets there are eight bullets available, though the last three can only be single-loaded manually one at a time from spare round holders or bullets deposited by the competitor into trays or onto the mat at the firing line. If after eight bullets there are still misses, one 150 m penalty loop must be taken for each missed target remaining. The first-leg participants start all at the same time, and as in cross-country skiing relays, every athlete of a team must touch the team's next-leg participant to perform a valid changeover. On the first shooting stage of the first leg, the participant must shoot in the lane corresponding to their bib number (Bib #10 shoots at lane #10 regardless of position in race.), then for the remainder of the relay, the relay team shoots at the lane in the position they arrived (Arrive at the range in 5th place, you shoot at lane five.). 2013–14 Top 3 Standings MedalCountryPointsGold: 194Silver: 194Bronze: 191 Medal winners Event: Gold: Time Silver: Time Bronze: TimeHochfilzendetailsMaxim TsvetkovTimofey LapshinDmitry MalyshkoAnton Shipulin1:16:14.8(0+0) (0+0)(0+1) (0+0)(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+0)Simon FourcadeJean-Guillaume BéatrixSimon DesthieuxMartin Fourcade1:16:35.0(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+1)(0+0) (0+2)(0+1) (0+0) Johannes Thingnes BøEmil Hegle SvendsenLars Helge BirkelandTarjei Bø1:16:42.7(0+1) (0+0)(0+1) (0+0)(0+2) (0+3)(0+0) (0+3)OberhofdetailsEvgeniy GaranichevTimofey LapshinDmitry MalyshkoAnton Shipulin1:15:24.1(0+1) (0+1)(0+2) (0+1)(0+3) (1+3)(0+0) (0+1)Vetle Sjåstad ChristiansenAlexander OsJohannes Thingnes BøOle Einar Bjørndalen 1:15:26.4(0+0) (0+2)(0+0) (0+1)(0+0) (1+3)(0+1) (0+3)Simon FourcadeJean-Guillaume BéatrixSimon DesthieuxQuentin Fillon Maillet1:16:56.4(0+1) (0+2)(0+1) (0+1)(0+2) (1+3)(0+1) (0+1) RuhpoldingdetailsOle Einar BjørndalenErlend BjøntegaardJohannes Thingnes BøEmil Hegle Svendsen1:09:42.3(0+1) (0+0)(0+0) (0+1)(0+1) (0+3)(0+1) (0+1)Erik LesserAndreas BirnbacherArnd PeifferSimon Schempp1:09:46.9(0+0) (0+1)(0+1) (0+0)(0+0) (0+1)(0+1) (0+0) Evgeniy GaranichevTimofey LapshinAlexey VolkovAnton Shipulin1:09:50.7(0+0) (0+1)(0+2) (0+2)(0+1) (0+0)(0+1) (0+1)AntholzdetailsOle Einar BjørndalenTarjei BøJohannes Thingnes BøEmil Hegle Svendsen1:15:36.7(0+1) (0+0)(0+1) (0+1)(0+2) (0+0)(0+0) (0+0)Erik LesserDaniel BöhmArnd PeifferSimon Schempp1:15:53.1(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+3)(0+0) (0+1)(0+1) (0+2) Simon FourcadeQuentin Fillon MailletSimon DesthieuxJean-Guillaume Béatrix1:16:18.7(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+1)(0+1) (0+2)(0+1) (0+0)HolmenkollendetailsEvgeniy GaranichevMaxim TsvetkovDmitry MalyshkoAnton Shipulin1:16:16.6(0+1) (0+1)(0+0) (0+0)(1+3) (0+0)(0+0) (0+0)Erik LesserAndreas BirnbacherArnd PeifferSimon Schempp1:16:16.8(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+1)(0+3) (0+0)(0+1) (0+1) Daniel MesotitschSimon EderSven GrosseggerDominik Landertinger1:17:07.5(0+0) (0+1)(0+1) (0+0)(0+2) (0+0)(0+0) (0+2)KontiolahtidetailsErik LesserDaniel BöhmArnd PeifferSimon Schempp1:13:49.5(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+2)(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+1)Ole Einar BjørndalenTarjei BøJohannes Thingnes BøEmil Hegle Svendsen1:14:04.9(0+0) (0+0)(0+0) (0+3)(0+0) (0+2)(0+0) (0+1)Simon FourcadeJean-Guillaume BéatrixQuentin Fillon MailletMartin Fourcade1:14:23.1(0+0) (0+0)(0+1) (0+1)(0+1) (0+0)(0+1) (0+0) Standings # Name HOC OBE RUH ANT HOL WCH TotalRelay Men 1 60 60 48 40 60 43 311 2 48 54 60 60 32 54 308 3 40 43 54 54 54 60 305 4 54 48 43 48 38 48 279 5 43 28 40 43 48 40 242 6 32 40 30 36 36 32 206 7 38 34 32 32 40 22 198 8 36 DNF 38 38 43 38 193 9 31 30 36 29 29 34 189 10 30 38 26 24 31 36 185 11 34 27 27 31 34 29 182 12 23 29 34 26 30 31 173 13 26 36 25 25 28 25 165 14 24 26 29 30 26 30 165 15 25 31 24 27 23 26 156 16 28 25 19 19 25 24 140 17 29 DSQ 28 28 27 23 135 18 20 24 21 22 22 19 128 19 27 DNS 31 34 — 27 119 20 17 20 17 20 20 17 111 21 21 21 23 21 — 21 107 22 DNS 32 22 23 — 28 105 23 22 19 16 — 24 18 99 24 18 22 20 18 — 20 98 25 19 23 18 — 21 15 96 26 — — — — — 16 16 27 — — — — — 14 14 References Relay Men
