Short Individual Men

This year it's the men who will kick off the biathlon festival on 18.01.2024. On the programme is a new format that will be tested for the first time in the World Cup: the Short Individual.
Instead of the 20km, a shorter distance of 15km will be run by the men and a penalty time of 45 seconds instead of one minute will be added for each mistake.
Will it be an outsider or rather a favourite athlete who masters the new discipline?
