Chasing Start for all Competition Classes<\/h3>\n

On the final day, based on the results of the three forest races from the previous days, all competition classes will start using a Chasing Start<\/strong> format.<\/p>\n

The first competitor to start will be the one with the lowest total time from the three previous stages. Subsequent competitors will start according to their time difference from the first competitor.<\/p>\n

All athletes who are more than 60 minutes behind the leader<\/strong>, as well as those who missed one of the stages<\/strong> or were disqualified<\/strong>, will start after the 60-minute mark<\/strong>, using interval starts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Depending on the number of athletes starting at intervals after 60 minutes, athletes will start at 15- or 30-second intervals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
