Starting position
Johannes Thingnes Bø , as the winner of the overall World Cup for men, and Dorothea Wierer for women wanted to defend their title and competed again this season. The overall World Cup winner from the 2016/17 season Laura Dahlmeier ended her career in the summer and consequently did not start again. The former overall World Cup winner Gabriela Koukalová also declared her career over in the summer. In addition, with Simon Fourcade , Michael Rösch , Henrik L'Abée-Lund , Anton Schipulin , Anastasiya Kuzmina and Fredrik Lindström, numerous world and / or Olympic champions ended their careers during the summer break.
At the traditional "season opening" in Norwegian Sjusjøen in the women's sprint was the Italian Lisa Vittozzi , for men, the German Johannes Kühn win their respective competitions. Despite the participation of numerous World Cup athletes, the season opening does not count towards the World Cup and therefore does not earn any points for the overall World Cup ranking. Last year's overall world cup winner Dorothea Wierer won the mass start , as did the seven-time overall world cup winner Martin Fourcade . The races in Sjusjøen were considered the last acid test before the start of the World Cup season.

Effects on the overall World Cup
For women, last year's overall World Cup winner Dorothea Wierer was able to keep the yellow jersey to herself after the two individual races. The Czech Markéta Davidová and Marte Olsbu Røiseland from Norway followed a little behind . In the Nations Cup, Sweden was able to achieve the most points among women and was ahead of Norway and Germany after the first World Cup station.
After the first World Cup, Martin Fourcade was in the lead among men , who has already won the overall World Cup seven times. His opponent and defending champion Johannes Thingnes Bø from Norway was initially in third place, one point behind his older brother Tarjei , who won the overall World Cup in the 2010/11 season . It is generally expected that Martin Fourcade and Johannes Thingnes Bø will battle it out for the overall World Cup this year as well. In the men's Nations Cup, after the first of ten World Cup stations, Norway was in first place ahead of France and Russia.
