Today the World Cup with European Championships in Switzerland continues with the Knock-out Sprint Qualification taking place in St-Blaise. 

The qualification round is a shorter, individual start, sprint competition where it is all about to individually run a sprint course and have the top 12 best running time in your heat. All athletes are allocated to three different parallell heats, each with an estimated winning time of 8-10 minutes. The best 12 in each qualification heat qualify for the Quarter finals on Saturday.
