The men's relay competition of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics was held at Whistler Olympic Park in Whistler, British Columbia on February 26, 2010. The race consisted of four laps of cross-country skiing, each lap a total of 7.5 km. Every 2.5 km there would be a shooting zone, the first one is prone and the second one is standing. Any misses in the shooting zones count as penalties which must be completed by going around a penalty loop right after the second shooting zone. There were four racers per team, each completing one lap. As all the teams started together, the team that crossed the finish line first would win.

On October 26, 2020, it was announced that Evgeny Ustyugov of Russia was charged by the Biathlon Integrity Unit for haemoglobin doping and could lose his 2010 results. The decision was confirmed in 2024, resulting in the disqualification of the bronze medalist Russian team in this event. [1] [2] In May 2025 the final appeals of the decision were exhausted [2] , and in September the International Olympic Committee formally reallocated Ustyugov's medals a gold and a bronze from 2010 and a relay gold from 2014 to other athletes. [3]
