The Men’s 12.5 kilometre biathlon pursuit competition at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin Italy was held on 18 February at Cesana San Sicario. Competitors raced over five loops of a 2.5 kilometre skiing course shooting twenty times ten prone and ten standing. Each miss required a competitor to ski a 150-metre penalty loop.The starting order for the pursuit was based on the results of the sprint; the top 60 finishers in that race qualified for the pursuit.
