Aaaaah it's two Adamovs, indeed! Seriously, I thought I was getting mad here, thanks for being a lot sharper than I was
Now I think it is safe to assume it's the top-6 of every heat plus the 6 fastest non-qualifiers.
eighth-placed ADAMOV Michal from heat 3 is not in the final start list, so we have 7 biathletes from heat 3 and it's 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 = 30
mayve you were confused with two Adamovs from Slovakia?
Anyone care to think with me here? I'm lost as to how the supersprint qualifying works. Junior men have finished, it consisted of four heats. A total of 30 athletes qualified for the final, the start list of which can be found here:

Since it's very unclear exactly who qualified (not the 30 fastest overall and also not the top-X per heat), I looked at exactly who is on the start list out of which heat.
Here we have heat 1's result, top-9 is in the start list for the final:
C73E_v1.pdf (ibu.blob.core.windows.net)
Heat 2, top-8 is on the final's start list:
C73E_v1.pdf (ibu.blob.core.windows.net)
Heat 3, top-8 as well:
C73E_v1.pdf (ibu.blob.core.windows.net)
And finally heat 4, the top-6 of which is on the start list for the final:
C73E_v1.pdf (ibu.blob.core.windows.net)
Now, besides the question of how one qualifies, another question has been raised: there are 30 athletes on the final start list, bibs 1 through 30. However, 9 + 8 + 8 + 6 is.....31? But I checked every single one of these athletes, all 31 are on the start list, but the start list contains only 30 names. What black magic is this?!
