From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2017–18 Biathlon World Cup – Individual Men started on Thursday 30 November 2017 in Östersund and finished on Wednesday 10 January 2018 in Ruhpolding. The defending titlist was Martin Fourcade of France.

The small crystal globe winner for the category was tied between Johannes Thingnes Bø of Norway and Martin Fourcade of France.

The 20 kilometres (12 mi) individual race is the oldest biathlon event; the distance is skied over five laps. The biathlete shoots four times at any shooting lane, in the order of prone, standing, prone, standing, totalling 20 targets. For each missed target a fixed penalty time, usually one minute, is added to the skiing time of the biathlete. Competitors' starts are staggered, normally by 30 seconds.
