Notes

^ On 21 December 2021, Tora Berger was jointly awarded the 2013-14 Biathlon World Cup after the disqualification of Olga Zaitseva, so Berger also won 2 Overall in a row after her win in 2012-13. However, it wasn't the case in March 2020. "IBU EB AWARDS TOTAL SCORE CRYSTAL GLOBE 2013/2014 TO TORA BERGER AND KAISA MAKARAINEN". biathlonworld.com. 21 December 2021. Retrieved 21 December 2021.
^ This means every discipline at the World Cup / World Championships level as of the 2018–19 season; this includes Individual, Sprint, Pursuit, Mass Start, Women's Relay, Mixed Relay, and Single Mixed Relay. Later at the 2019 World Championships, Johannes Thingnes Bø achieved the same feature, while Sturla Holm Lægreid did that in March 2022. Ole Einar Bjørndalen has also won in 7 different disciplines at the World Cup / World Championships level (Individual, Sprint, Pursuit, Mass Start, Men's Relay, Mixed Relay, and the Team event which has not been raced since 1998); however, he never competed in a Single Mixed Relay during the later stages of his career. Halvard Hanevold also won in the same disciplines and retired before the introduction of Single Mixed Relay in 2015.
