The 2015–16 Biathlon World Cup – Sprint Women started on Saturday December 5, 2015 in Östersund and finished on March 17, 2016 in Khanty-Mansiysk. The defending titlist Darya Domracheva of Belarus missed the season due to illness.[1] Gabriela Soukalová of the Czech Republic won the title.

Competition format

The 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) sprint race is the third oldest biathlon event; the distance is skied over three laps. The biathlete shoots two times at any shooting lane, first prone, then standing, totalling 10 targets. For each missed target the biathlete has to complete a penalty lap of around 150 metres. Competitors' starts are staggered, normally by 30 seconds.
