Justine Braisaz strengthened her leadership from the first shooting, her closest pursuers, Sophie Chauveau and Franziska Preuss, made mistakes. Elvira Oberg came in second place, with a large group of eight athletes 40 seconds behind.
All athletes from the top 10 completed the second prone clear, so the gaps remained almost unchanged. Simon, Vittozzi, Preuss, Richard, Hettich and Knotten tried to hold on to Chauveau, who was dragging this group, but was still losing in relation to the leader. And by the third shooting, the group scattered.
Braisaz missed, Oberg missed, but Julie Simon, who came to the shooting 14 seconds behind the Swede, shot lightning fast, and went to the 4th lap 10 seconds behind the leader. Richard and Preuss were also accurate and could have formed a small group with Elvira Oberg 30 seconds behind the leader, but the Swede had a completely different pace.
At the last shooting, Braisaz had a big spread, 3 shots right on target, 2 shots into nowhere. Simon did not betray herself, and shot quickly, made one mistake, and went into the final lap as the leader. But the fight did not work out, Simon felt the taste of gold, and didn't even allow Braisaz to catch up with her.
However, none of the pursuers was able to hit all the targets. The closest biathlete to achieve this was Lou Jeanmonnot, who came to the shooting range in 11th place, and entered the last lap in 4th, right behind Franziska Preuss. But Tandrevold and Knotten were still 10 seconds behind, and Elvira Oberg another 5 seconds behind. The Swedes needed only 600 meters to win back 15 seconds and pass this entire group.
Only Tandrevold was able to catch on to her, who fell on one of the turns and lost 7-8 seconds. And the Norwegian still beat her on the final climb!
Lampic, as usual, is a record holder - 7 misses.
