The men also handed over to the women in this order. While prone, Halvarsson had to reload once, but then pulled away. The Norwegian Kirkeeide also had problems and had to reload twice. Fichtner also missed once and retained her third place. However, the Austrian Lisa Hauser stayed close to her skis.
In the final shooting, Halvarsson and Kirkeeide each had to reload once, but they kept their positions. Fichtner kept her nerve and remained third, although on the final lap she had the Frenchwoman and the Austrian behind her. In the end she didn’t quite manage to maintain her place.
