9:09 p.m
Sixth shooting
Karoline Offigstad Knotten shoots faster, but has to reload once. Vanessa Voigt, on the other hand, makes no mistakes and is close to the Norwegian! Davidova and Öberg come a little closer. With Anna Juppe it is the last disc that doesn’t want to fall right away. But she gets it sorted out quickly.
9:07 p.m
Another duo in front
The duo from Norway and Germany are still traveling together. It looks like they would like to come to the shooting range together.
9:05 p.m
Öberg wants to move forward
But Hanna Öberg really shows a strong running performance here. She has already made up many seconds ahead. Anna Juppe is currently running in sixth place, just under a minute behind.
9:04 p.m
Switzerland without a round
And while Voigt and Knotten already have a clear lead over Hanna Öberg at the front, Susanna Meinen just manages to avoid the penalty loop at the shooting range.
9:03 p.m
Fifth shooting
And then Vanessa Voigt does a spotless shooting and goes back on the track ahead of Knotten! It had to be reloaded once. Anna Juppe also clears everything with a spare.
9:01 p.m
What happens when you shoot?
Anna Juppe loses a few seconds to the top, but she is still doing well. The next shooting sessions should bring even more excitement here.
9:00 p.m
Voigt there
Vanessa Voigt has already closed the small gap on Knotten again. However, Hanna Öberg doesn’t seem to have a problem running behind the two. She’s really stepping on the gas!
20:58
Second change
And at least she almost manages to do that. Three seconds behind the Norwegian, Grotian hands over to Voigt. 25 seconds later the Swede arrives. Anna Juppe can now set off on her route, 45 seconds behind and in fifth place. Susanna Meinen starts in tenth place for Switzerland.
8:55 p.m
Lien picks up the pace
But Ida Lien ignites the turbo here and has closed the small gap of five seconds to Grotian in no time. In the best case scenario, the Germans have to stick with it now.
20:54
Fourth shooting
Some mistakes now when shooting standing! But Grotian gets through first despite two spares and takes the lead. Lea Rothschopf is also allowed to return to the group without any detours. Lena Häcki-Groß despairs of a target again and has to go into the round. Braisaz-Bouchet also had to turn off.
20:51
clear distance behind the first group
Lea Rothschopf holds up really well and only loses a significant amount of time. There is a big gap after the Austrian. A penalty lap could even fit in there.
8:49 p.m
France is getting close
Justine Braisaz-Bouchet is slowly but surely getting closer to the top, which still consists of Ida Lien and Selina Grotian. She’s even passing the Norwegian right now!
8:48 p.m
Third shooting
Selina Grotian takes a spare and goes back on the track at the same time as Ida Lien. Lea Rothschopf remains zero. Lena Häcki-Groß, like Hettich-Walz, has to fire three reloaders at one target and loses touch again.
8:45 p.m
Switzerland is fighting its way forward
And Lena Häcki-Groß is also doing well on the skis and is already making up a few places. Now it’s time for the first prone position of this round
8:44 p.m
Sweden is staying tuned
Mona Brorsson has worked her way up a bit and is now part of the leadership quartet. The material of the German team also seems to be suitable today, as Selina Grotian can even move to the top at times.
20:41
First change
The group of three from Norway, Austria and Germany change first. About seven seconds behind, Sweden comes into the transition zone. And France, the Czech Republic and Italy can also figure something out here.
8:39 p.m
Hettich-Walz is going strong
And Hettich-Walz is almost at it again! She’s already moved to the front for a good three seconds. Meier is now 25 seconds behind.
8:38 p.m
Good shooting performance
After the second shooting, only the USA relay team had to go into the penalty loop once. So the shooting is quite good.
8:37 p.m
Second shooting
The German arrives at the same time as her pursuers and has to reload three times if she makes a mistake. Lisa Theresa Hauser was now very strong and comes out in second place. What was going on at Hettich-Walz? Twelve seconds behind the lead is no world at this point.
8:35 p.m
France further back
The Frenchwoman is currently only in ninth place. Of course, that doesn’t mean anything at this early stage of the race. Hettich-Walz has now even managed to break away a little bit. Can she hold on until the shooting?
8:32 p.m
Hettich-Walz at the forefront
After overall good shooting, Juni Arnekleiv took the lead. Close on her heels at the moment is Janina Hettich Walz. And the Italian Comola is also in the leadership trio.
8:31 p.m
First shooting
The runners have gathered on the mats and are putting on their weapons for the first time. Hettich-Walz shows a strong series and returns to the track in second place. Lisa Theresa Hauser has to reload once, Meier uses the cartridges twice for Switzerland.
20:27
Field still close together
At the start of the lap the field is still close together. Nobody has tried to break away yet.
8:25 p.m
Here we go!
And the field is already underway in the snow of Utah. We are excited to see who will win the race today.
8:19 p.m
It will start soon
In a few minutes the starting runners will start the last relay of the season. The weather is definitely right: the sun is shining from the sky again in Soldier Hollow.
20:12
Meier starts for Switzerland
Lea Meier opens the race for Switzerland. Lena Häcki-Groß has finally found her way back to her old strength and will follow in second position. Susanna Meinen and Aita Gasparin should then bring the relay safely to the finish line.
8:03 p.m
The Austrian squad
The Austrians have shown some strong performances in the last few races. The figurehead starts with Lisa Theresa Hauser in first place. She is then followed by Lea Rothschopf, Anna Juppe and Anna Gandler. The latter should be buoyed by her sixth place in the sprint yesterday.
19:57
New final runner for Germany
Janina Hettich-Walz, Selina Grotian, Vanessa Voigt and Julia Kink are supposed to do the 4×6 kilometers for Germany. For Julia Kink, this means another debut: on her first weekend in the World Cup, she can also complete the relay squad.
19:52
Close race at the front
The relay teams from Norway, France and Sweden lead the women’s relay rankings by very small margins. These three nations are of course among the absolute favorites today, in the last relay race of the season.
