The sport still struggled with its low popularity.

The 20-kilometer run started as planned on February 8, 1972 at 9:00 a.m., but had to be stopped after a quarter of an hour because visibility was no more than 50 meters due to heavy snowfall. It then had to be postponed by 24 hours, so that the competition started again on February 9, 1972 at 9:01 a.m. 54 athletes from 14 countries took part, 53 of whom reached the finish line.
A total of four shooting tests had to be completed, two standing and two lying down. At each stand, five shots had to be fired at the targets 150 meters away with a biathlon rifle. Every outside hit was punished with a one-minute serve, every hit outside the evaluation circle with two minutes.
