Hettich-Walz included
Janina Hettich-Walz is doing very well in the race. In fifth place she is only ten seconds ahead of Julia Simon and can be pulled along by Lena Häcki-Groß right in front of her. Vanessa Voigt is 14th in midfield, one place ahead of her is Lisa Theresa Hauser.
2:00 p.m
Grotian and Tannheimer meet
Selina Grotian can now make up a few places, as can Julia Tannheimer – because the young Germans are now clearing all the goals. Grotian leaves the shooting range in 23rd place.

The duo Öberg/Simon comes to the second shooting with a small lead. Simon shoots quickly again and hits everything, as does Hanna Öberg. Häcki-Groß and Hettich-Walz also make it through without mistakes, Hauser has to spin once. Voigt hits everything!

Grotian on 25
With one mistake, Selina Grotian is at the end of the field in 25th place, Julia Tannheimer is running in 27th place. Hettich-Walz is currently eighth, Voigt 15th. Hauser is in tenth place, Häcki-Groß is running directly in front of Hettich-Walz.
13:53
First 15 without penalty
Despite the wind, 15 athletes hit all targets. Julia Simon, who has to be at least sixth today to win the mass start classification, leads the field with Hanna Öberg – the two of them are eight seconds ahead of the rest.

First shooting
The wind conditions are also different than when shooting. Simon quickly takes the first shot and hits everything, Voigt and Grotian shoot one penalty – Hettich-Walz, Häcki-Groß and Hauser none, Tannheimer two.

Voigt in midfield
The Germans and Hauser are running in the field and are currently in midfield. We go to the shooting range, where there is currently a lot of wind.
13:48
Careful approach
Elvira Öberg leads the large group, but the pace is still leisurely and the field is together.

Start of the race
1:45 p.m
It’s starting!
And then the starting signal was given, we are looking forward to an exciting finish over 12.5 kilometers! The field goes on the first lap together. After the excellent performances in the sprint and pursuit, the Swedes around the Öberg sisters are the top favorites, as well as the French women.
13:42
Duo for Switzerland
Amy Baserga qualified for the mass start thanks to her World Cup placement. Lena Häcki-Groß achieved this thanks to her good performances in the last few days; the Swiss woman came in a very good ninth place in the pursuit. Both of them have to give it their all again today before they can recover from the strains of the season.
13:38
Last race for Hauser
Enjoy is the motto for Lisa Theresa Hauser, who will end her career after the mass start. She is the only Austrian competing today, but the result will probably only be irrelevant. It will also be the last career race for the Slovakian Paulína Bátovská Fialková, both of whom can take in the great scenery at Holmenkollen again today.
13:32
Simon with a big lead
The decision for the small crystal ball will be a French affair: Julia Simon leads with a total of 200 points, ahead of her compatriots Lou Jeanmonnot (155 points) and Oceane Michelon (146 points) – Camille Bened is also lurking behind her. There are 90 points for a win; Lou Jeanmonnot was able to secure the overall World Cup in the sprint.
13:28
The Germans
Vanessa Voigt, Janina Hettich-Walz and Julia Tannheimer qualified for the mass start thanks to their places in the overall World Cup. Selina Grotian also made the jump and is allowed to run today, so a quartet is competing for Germany. Vanessa Voigt showed a great competition in the pursuit, Julia Tannheimer is still in top form on the cross-country ski trail – but she still has problems at the shooting range too often.
1:20 p.m
Farewells are coming
It’s getting emotional! The very last race of the 2025/2026 season is coming up – and with it a lot of farewells. First of all, the 30 best athletes are once again aiming for points in the mass start and the small crystal ball in this discipline.
1:15 p.m
Welcome!
Welcome to the women’s mass start! The last race of the season for biathletes starts at Holmenkollen in Oslo at 1:45 p.m.
