As could be expected, Elvira Oeberg goes to the attack to head base immediately after the start to try to cancel the 15 seconds that Marte Roeiseland had managed to conquer in the Sprint on Thursday but only managed to halve them; the Norwegian is not wrong while Elvira Oeberg misses the fifth target. Reztsova and Hauser are not wrong who find themselves at 28 seconds, Elvira Oeberg drops to 36 seconds alongside her sister Hanna. Wierer, tenth at 57.4, and Vittozzi, about ten seconds behind, are not wrong.
The two Swedes in the second lap return to the two most immediate pursuers. After an adjustment to the viewfinder, Roeiseland misses once while the sisters Oeberg and Hauser are not wrong who come out of the second session all in a matter of seconds. Further back, at 22 seconds, Julia Simon (10/10 on the ground), Bescond at 25.7 (9/10), Wierer (10/10) at 29.1, Alimbekava (9/10) at 32.6 and Vittozzi (10 / 10) to 33.1.
Hauser does not keep up with the two Swedes and the Norwegian in the third round and finds himself among the top three and the pursuers. Double mistake by Roeiseland and Hanna Oeberg while Elvira is right, leading the dance with a perfect Hauser at 10.5; no mistake also for Julia Simon at 18.4. There is also a mistake for Wierer and Vittozzi who are in eighth and ninth position, 50 seconds from the leader and 32 from the podium.
Only Julia Simon keeps the pace, indeed she goes faster than Elvira Oeberg in the fourth lap and the challenge moves to the last polygon: all the firsts are wrong and for the last lap Elvita Oeberg has 3.6 seconds behind Julia Simon. Hanna Oeberg, Roeiseland, Bescond, Hauser and Vittozzi (19/20) are competing for the podium in the space of 3 seconds.
