All you need to know about the Super Sprint Format at the LOOP ONE Festival 

Qualification Heats:

• The qualification consists of four heats with 15 athletes each, all starting simultaneously. 
• Each heat includes three 1.8 km loops around the Olympic Lake on roller skis. 
• There are two shooting bouts per heat: first prone, then standing at a distance of 50 m with small-bore rifles. 
• No spare rounds are available, every missed shot means a penalty loop of about 60 m. 
• A maximum of two athletes per team may compete in the same heat. 
• The top three finishers in each heat qualify for the final, along with the three fastest athletes overall as “lucky losers.” 

Final:

• A total of 15 athletes compete in the final (based on the results from the heats). 
• The final consists of five 1.8 km loops. 
• Four shooting bouts: prone, prone, standing, standing – again with no spare rounds. 
• For every missed shot, a 60 m penalty loop must be completed.
