There was only one mixed relay in the 2021–22 Biathlon World Cup before the Olympics, won by Norway, with Belarus second and France third.

Marte Olsbu Røiseland comfortably won the first leg for Norway, who was 15 seconds ahead of Italy, followed by Belarus, Sweden, and the Russian Olympic Committee.

Meanwhile, Kristina Reztsova had to ski a penalty loop on her leg, and the Russian Olympic Committee dropped to seventh, a minute behind France.

Sweden was second, France dropped to third due to Émilien Jacquelin being on the penalty loop twice on his standing shoot.

At the finish Bø outsprinted Fillon Maillet and Latypov, and Norway won the gold medal ahead of France and the Russia Olympic Committee.
