The men's individual competition of the 2026 Winter Olympics was held on 10 February, at the Anterselva Biathlon Arena in Rasen-Antholz.[1] Johan-Olav Botn of Norway won the event, Éric Perrot of France won the silver medal, and Sturla Holm Lægreid of Norway won bronze. For Botn, it was the first Olympic medal, and for Lægreid, the first individual Olympic medal.

Background

The defending champion, Quentin Fillon Maillet, qualified for the Olympics. The silver medalist, Anton Smolski, was barred from participation as a consequence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The bronze medalist Johannes Thingnes Bø retired from competitions.[2] Prior to the Olympics, Éric Perrot was leading the total as well as individual standings of the 2025–26 Biathlon World Cup. He was also the 2025 World champion.
