The Swede wins and further strengthens her lead in the overall standings.
Julia Simon started the race with zeal, she broke through from 29th place to second, and started the first shooting even before Elvira Oberg stepped on the mat. But the Frenchwoman missed one shot, and the Finnish Suvi Minkinnen became the temporary leader, to the delight of the local stands.
Justine Braisaz was also on the list of accurate shooters. The Frenchwoman easily reduced the gap to the Finnish woman, and by the second shooting she had also broken away from her pursuers by 7 seconds. However, she shot for a very long time, and despite 5 accurate shots, she let Knotten, Wierer, and Hauser pass her.
At the same time, Elvira Oberg couldn't make 5 out of 5, and was already rewinding the penalty lap for the second time.
But in the third shooting, only Dorothea Wierer, Franziska Preuss and Anna Magnusson were able to make 5 accurate shots. The Italian left alone, and the German and the Swede were 10 seconds behind her. Finally, all 5 targets were given to Elvira Oberg and Julia Simon, they were only 15 seconds behind Wierer. Justine Brezat fell back to the middle of the peloton.
In the last standing, Wierer and Preuss missed each, but Simon and Oberg were accurate at the decisive moment. The Frenchwoman was in the lead, the Swede was 5 seconds behind, and Anna Magnusson was 3 seconds behind. But she was hardly thinking about winning, she needed to defend her 3rd place from Wierer, Preuss, Tenmeyer, Vogt and Jeanmonnot, who were only 10-15 seconds behind her.
There was no fight for the victory, Elvira Oberg, although she looked exhausted, easily caught up with Simon and left her behind.
Magnusson was also caught up, and on the main climb everyone and their dog overtook her, and the bronze was played out between three Germans, the fastest being Franziska Preuss.
