Background
editThe 2022 champions were Norway, and the silver medalists were France. The bronze medalist, Russian Olympic Committee, were barred from participation in 2026 due to the military aggression of Russia against Ukraine. Prior to the Olympics, there were only two mixed relay competitions with four legs in the 2025–26 Biathlon World Cup. One was won by France and another one by Italy. France were also the 2025 World champions.
Summary
editFor most of the distance, France, Italy, Germany and Norway were skiing together or close to each other. Before the 2nd shooting of the 4th leg, they were all still in medal contention. At the last shooting, Franziska Preuß of Germany got a penalty and Maren Kirkeeide of Norway got two penalties, and thus Germany went for the bronze, and Norway dropped out of medal contention. France was ahead of Italy, and Julia Simon of France was skiing faster than Lisa Vittozzi of Italy, thus winning gold for France. Italy was left second.
