2022–23 Biathlon World Cup Explained
The 2022–23 Biathlon World Cup (official: BMW IBU World Cup Biathlon) was a multi-race series over a season of biathlon, organised by the International Biathlon Union (IBU). It was the 46th edition for men and 41st edition for women of the highest international race series in biathlon.
The season started on 29 November 2022 in Kontiolahti, Finland and ended on 19 March 2023 in Oslo Holmenkollen, Norway.[1]

Quentin Fillon Maillet from France and Marte Olsbu Røiseland from Norway were the defending overall champions from the 2021–22 season. Fillon Maillet finished the season in 8th place and Olsbu Røiseland in 15th place.
