Boycott of the event edit
The Canadian team announced on December 15 that they will boycott the event after the IBU decided to keep the event in Tyumen.[2] This was followed up by the delegations from the United States and Czech Republic as well as individual boycotts from Sebastian Samuelsson from Sweden and Klemen Bauer from Slovenia.[3][4] Due to the ongoing crisis in Donbass Ukraine also boycotted the event.[5]
