Source-derived summary

The 2015–16 Biathlon World Cup – World Cup 9 was held in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia, from 17 March until 20 March 2016. Due to strong winds on the final day of competition, which caused a light pole to collapse onto the shooting range, the men's and women's mass start events were cancelled.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “2015–16 Biathlon World Cup – World Cup 9” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2015, 2016—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Biathlon, World and Open-knowledge can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q21834638. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2015 and 2016.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
