The 2015–16 Biathlon World Cup – Sprint Men started on Saturday December 5, 2015 in Östersund and will finish in 2016 in Khanty-Mansiysk. Martin Fourcade of France is the defending titlist.

Competition format

The 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) sprint race is the third oldest biathlon event; the distance is skied over three laps. The biathlete shoots two times at any shooting lane, first prone, then standing, totalling 10 targets. For each missed target the biathlete has to complete a penalty lap of around 150 metres. Competitors' starts are staggered, normally by 30 seconds.
