The Lithuanian biathletes are gearing up for the 20 km individual race, which is scheduled to begin at 14:30. Maksimas Fominas will be the first to start among the Lithuanian team, taking to the track at 14:32, marking his first step in the Olympics. Following him will be Vytautas Strolia starting at 14:46, Karolis Dombrovskis at 14:57:30, and Nikita Čigakas at 15:13.

A total of 89 biathletes will participate in this discipline, which distinguishes itself from other formats by penalizing inaccurate shots with an additional minute added to the total time rather than a penalty lap. This race presents a significant challenge for competitors, requiring both accuracy and stamina, especially in the Olympic setting.

For Vytautas Strolia, this event represents his fourth Olympic appearance, while Karolis Dombrovskis returns to the Games for a second time. The other two athletes, Nikita Čigakas and Maksimas Fominas, will be making their Olympic debuts, adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the Lithuanian team as they take on this prestigious competition.
