Wierer makes a mistake, Eckhoff celebrates

Wierer took to the trail with just six seconds ahead of Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold. She controlled this skillfully up to the first prone position, but then made two mistakes under laboratory conditions and had to hand over the lead to the Norwegian, who hit all the targets. And because the woman from Niederrasner also made a mistake in the second shooting, she fell back to twelfth place.

Eckhoff does it like Bø At the front, the Norwegians dictated the action, because alongside Tandrevold, the strong Eckhoff also showed a flawless race. Just like Lisa Vittozzi, who was close to the podium places - at least until the first standing stage. There she scored two tickets and said goodbye to the race.

Wierer also had to make another penalty lap, but nevertheless improved to eighth place, but was already a minute behind the leader Eckhoff. The Norwegian took a lead of 30 seconds into the penultimate lap. And she didn't let it be taken away from her: like Johannes Thingnes Bø on Saturday, she cleared all 20 targets and ran safely to her seventh World Cup victory. Behind her, Hanna Öberg set the course for second place with fast, error-free shooting. Tandrevold was happy about her next podium finish.

The exertions of the last few days were noticeable for Wierer, but despite five mistakes, he was still able to finish 9th and confidently defend the overall ranking. Vittozzi crossed the finish line in 25th place, Federica Sanfilippo from Ridnaun ended up in 49th place. She also had to do five laps.

Wierer makes a mistake, Eckhoff celebrates

Of all things in the pursuit competition, where the biathletes are challenged at the shooting range four times, the otherwise insecure shooter Tiril Eckhoff celebrates her first victory of the season. She benefited, among other things, from Dorothea Wierer, whose tiredness was clearly noticeable.
