It is the Sprint of the first times that is staged in Estonia: first victory in a Sprint of the Frenchwoman, first podium in career of Vanessa Voigt and after a year and a half the Norwegian Knotten returns to the podium.

The meteorological context in Otepää is very different from that which accompanied yesterday the men's opening race of the penultimate round of the World Cup; overcast skies but above all weird wind that changes direction at the shooting range in a few seconds and can make the difference. If yesterday the double zeroes abounded, today they can be counted on the fingers of one hand and the penalty turns are felt.
The French Julia Simon (0-1) gets her first victory of the season and ever in a Sprint who, despite an error at the last target of the race, manages to defend herself from the German Vanessa Voigt (0-0) who gets on the first podium of his career with a gap of 11.0 seconds. It is third, to repeat her only podium obtained in a Sprint in 2020 in Kontiolahti, Karoline Knotten (0-0) who squanders about twenty seconds in the last lap and closes at 12.8
Remains off the podium, despite an exceptional last lap, Denise Herrmann (1-0), fourth at 16.1 seconds ahead of Ingris Tandrevold (0-1), fifth at 21.9 and Hanna Oeberg (1-0), sixth at 23.0.
Dorothea Wierer (0-2) closes at 1.19.6 around the twentieth position preceding a good Federica Sanfilippo (0-2) who pays 1.38.8.
