Today, the last pursuit races of the Biathlon World Cup season are taking place in Holmenkollen, Oslo, with broadcast coverage provided by ETV and ERR's sports portal. The live coverage of the men's 12.5 km race begins at 17:00, with commentators Tarmo Tiisler and Margus Ader guiding viewers through the event. Competitors are poised for an exciting finish, with top contenders looking to secure their final standings before the season concludes.

Sturla Holm Lægreid, who has dominated the last four World Cup events, including victories in Otepää, is set to start first, just four seconds ahead of Emilien Jacquelin. Jacquelin's fellow countryman, Eric Perrot, follows closely behind. Perrot, who has already clinched the overall World Cup title, is currently leading in pursuit race points, making this final race crucial as he seeks to fend off challengers like Sebastian Samuelsson and Tommaso Giacomeli.

The competitive atmosphere is heightened as the top three men begin only five seconds apart, showing the tight race for the season finale. Meanwhile, Martin Ponsiluoma is in a slightly longer pursuit starting 19 seconds after Lægreid. This race not only marks the culmination of the World Cup season but also acts as a critical juncture for the athletes aiming to solidify their rankings and secure ending accolades in biathlon for this year.
