Most of all, Olena Bilosyuk, who became the only one hundred percent sniper in the race, was surprised by her work on the shooting range. She shot slowly (only 53 rates of fire) and could not demonstrate the best speeds on the track, but perfect shooting provided very high-quality progress in the pursuit from 24th to 13th.
Unfortunately, Julia Dzhima continued to have problems with shooting, which appeared on the eve during the relay race. In general, the current Ukrainian national team leader had to enter the penalty loop seven times, which eventually resulted in 49th place at the finish after 15th position in the sprint.
The victory was won by the Norwegian Marthe Royseland, followed by the Belarusian Anna Sola, and the bronze was won by Elvira Edberg (Sweden).
