Nové Město na Moravá (Žďársko) – In almost the same composition as at the recent world championship in Oberhof, the Czech biathlon team will present itself at the World Cup in Nové Město na Moravá, which will take place from Thursday to Sunday. The only change is the absence of Eliška Václavíková, who is competing at the IBU Cup in Canmore, Canada.
