Elvira Oeberg returns to the top step of the podium, disappointment for Minkkinen

The first victory of the season for the Swedish star. Elvira Oeberg, never known as the most reliable shooter, went a perfect 10 out of 10 in this race and was among the main contenders for the win heading into the final lap.

Suvi Minkkinen, who led by five seconds after the second shooting, completely collapsed on the last loop. She lost 25 seconds to Oeberg and only just managed to hold off Julia Simon. It quickly became clear that this was not so much Minkkinen underperforming as Oeberg flying: the entire field lost time to the Swede on the final lap.

Maren Kirkeeide finished fourth and slightly reduced her deficit to Lou Jeanmonnot in the overall standings, while the Frenchwoman placed further back today in seventh.

Fifth and sixth places went to two German athletes with one shooting miss each: Franziska Preuss and Janina Hettich-Walz.

Once again, the sprint did not go well for Justine Braisaz-Bouchet, who finished only 31st. Even worse were the results of Karoline Knotten, down in 45th, and Ingrid Tandrevold, who failed to make the top 60 and therefore did not qualify for the pursuit.
