Domracheva wins third gold - Oberhofer 14.

Only Belarusian Darya Domracheva has achieved three gold medals in Sochi so far. She celebrated a start-to-finish victory on the track, which was softened by the warm temperatures and treated with salt. The Belarusian, who had already won gold in the pursuit and individual competitions, prevailed on Monday afternoon (CET) in a time of 35.25,6 minutes.

Domracheva took the lead immediately after the start, remained at the front without any mistakes in the first three shooting tests and was the first to leave the stadium after the last shooting to tackle the final round. At this point, eventual silver medalist Gabriela Soukalova (Czech Republic) could have made up time because Domracheva made a mistake, but she also missed once.

Eckhoff wins bronze

Germany's Evi Dingebacher-Stehle and Tiril Eckhoff from Norway fought for the bronze medal in the women's mass start. Dingebacher-Stehle, who remained flawless at the shooting range, was the first biathlete to go into the final lap, but Eckhoff (1 mistake) was able to catch up with the former cross-country skier on the last loop and won by one second after a thrilling finish.

Oberhofer makes a mistake in the first standing stage

Karin Oberhofer missed her chances of winning a medal in the first standing stage when she made a mistake. The 28-year-old from Feldthurn, who made another mistake in the last shooting, ended up with a respectable 14th place, 1.38 minutes behind Domracheva. Meanwhile, Dorothea Wierer, weakened by flu, had already made a mistake while shooting prone. The 23-year-old racer definitely missed all her chances of winning a medal in the second shooting test in a lying position when she missed two more times. Wierer crossed the finish line in 26th place, 3.11,8:XNUMX minutes behind the gold medalist.
