IBU is working on different formats for Super Sprint I just hope it replaces this event where medals are based on performance of some other event

They should just get rid of it completely. 3 individual medal chances is enough. Sadly many sports got completely inflated. Speed skating also should only have 3 individual events (500 m, 1500 m, 3000/5000 m).

 

In general you should always ask yourself if there is a need for multiple events where you can win a medal with exactly the same skill set.

I think the individual would be a lot better if the best ones had to go last. Instead they sort of fizzle out.
