Unlike yesterday’s men’s race, today’s winner and medalists were not flawless on the shooting range. Franziska Preuss, who finished third, missed twice.
Justine Braisaz started one minute after Lou Jeanmonnot and followed her split times closely throughout the race. At the beginning of the final lap, she was trailing by around one second, but managed to edge past the younger Frenchwoman and take the win.
This marks Braisaz’s first victory of the season.
Meanwhile, Lou Jeanmonnot continues to extend her lead in the overall standings, helped by the poor performances of her main rivals. At the moment, she holds an advantage of nearly 200 points over Suvi Minkkinen.
The Finn finished only 22nd today and has long since lost the edge she built up after the first two World Cup stages. The same applies to Anna Magnusson, who even had the chance to wear the yellow bib earlier in the season.
Maren Kirkeeide, along with Hanna and Elvira Oeberg, is skipping this stage. That means that, barring any major surprises, the Overall World Cup this season is now very likely to be won by the Frenchwoman.
