Wierer eighth in the pursuit after a strong comeback

Overall, Wierer showed a more than decent competition and made up eleven places with only two errors in four shooting sessions. The woman from Puster made a mistake in both the prone and standing positions and crossed the finish line in eighth place after ten kilometers.

At the front – as in the sprint – Mari Laukkanen set the tone. 24 hours after her debut success in the World Cup, the Finn also presented her best side in the pursuit and celebrated a confident victory thanks to an almost flawless performance at the shooting range (only one penalty). Laukkanen won ahead of the Czech Gabriela Koukalova and the French Justine Braisaz. In addition to the day's winner, Laura Dahlmeier was also one of the big winners after the race: The German improved from 31st place to ninth place and thus secured the small crystal ball for the Pursuit World Cup.

While Sanfilippo fell from ninth place to 19th place due to five penalties in the two standing stops, Runggaldier fell from tenth place to 25th place with three penalties.
