The 2017–18 Biathlon World Cup – Stage 9 is the 9th and final event[1] of the season and was held in Tyumen, Russia, from 22 March until 25 March 2018.

Boycott of the event[edit]

The Canadian team announced on December 15 that they will boycott the event after the IBU decided to keep the event in Tyumen.[2] This was followed up by the delegations from the United States and Czech Republic as well as individual boycotts from Sebastian Samuelsson from Sweden and Klemen Bauer from Slovenia.[3][4] Due to the ongoing crisis in Donbass Ukraine also boycotted the event.[5]
