Anna Magnusson won for the first time in her career, finishing in 21 minutes and 4.7 seconds. Another Swede, Linna Persson, was 12.8 seconds behind and was second, but the top three was completed by German biathlete Denise Hermann-Wick, who was separated from the winner by 15.2 seconds. Persson and Hermann-Vika measured one penalty lap each.
Bendika made a mistake in both shooting ranges and lost a minute and 1.5 seconds to Magnuson at the finish.
Another Latvian biathlete, Annija Keita Sabule, in her season’s first World Cup competition, took 94th place in the competition of 95 participants, remaining outside the TOP60 that will participate in the pursuit distance. Sabule made four mistakes in shooting.
In the overall ranking of the season, Bendika occupies the 32nd place with 59 points, while the leading position was kept by the Frenchwoman Gillie Simone, who accumulated 336 points.
In the continuation of the World Cup stage in Annecy, the pursuit distances for men and women will be on Saturday, and the race with a joint start – on Sunday. It has already been announced that Latvia will not be represented in the men’s pursuit due to modest results in the sprint distance.
Nine stages of the World Cup are planned for the season – the last of them in mid-March in Norway.
