The unleashed Vittozzi and Wierer who carry the blue train with a minute's advantage halfway through the race to fight for the medals area are not enough.

The launch of Lisa Vittozzi is one of her best performances in a specialty where she also excels; the sappadina immediately dictates the rhythm and despite a reload she finds herself after the shooting range on the ground with the Russian Yurlova who is liquidated in the standing session and then increases the advantage on the third lap. At the change Vittozzi (0 + 1) shows up with 25 seconds ahead of Yurlova (0 + 1), Dunklee (0 + 1) is at 27 seconds. Among the favorites he limits the damage Julia Simon (0 + 6) to 34.6, Elisa Gasparin (0 + 1) is just behind but the Norwegian Solemdal (0 + 1) pays 41 seconds, the Swedish Elvira Oeberg (0 + 2) 42, 3, the German Karolin Horchler (0 + 4) is beyond the minute. Dorothea Wierer is unleashed in the second fraction, a recharge on the ground, a quick shooting lesson on her feet and the fastest on skis; as per half-way plans the advantage is around the minute on the Polish Hojinisz and on the Russian Starykh (0 + 3) but Tandrevold (0 + 2) is at 1.11.6, the French Bescond (0 + 3) at 1.22.0 , the Swiss Selina Gasparin ((0 + 5) at 1.37.8, the Swedish Brorsson (0 + 4) at 1.53.7 also preceded by Vanessa Hinz (0 + 0). In the third fraction Federica Sanfilippo limits the damage to the ground but incurs two rounds of penalties while standing and in a polygon where errors fail, surprisingly the Polish Kamila Zuk (0 + 1) finds herself in command with 40 seconds ahead of the Czech Charvatova (0 + 6), Eckhoff (1 + 6) and Preuss (0 + 1); Sanfilippo is slightly behind at 47.8 alongside Persson's Sweden (0 + 1), the Russian Mironova (1 + 3) is at 53.3, France leaves the stage for a bad fraction of Aymonier (4 + 6). Finally, Magdalena Gwidzon tries to limit the damage in the face of the wild Roeiseland, Hermann and Hanna Oeberg. At the entrance of the first shooting range, it retains 30 seconds of advantage which, due to the two refills, reduces to 8 on the Norwegian and Swedish output while Herrmann with 2 refills is at 27 seconds. In the second lap Roeiseland and Oeberg jump Gwizdon who at the entrance of the last session keeps only 4 seconds on a wild Herrmann. Mars Roeiseland (0 + 0) wins the challenge at the shooting range and flies towards his nth medal in these world championships while Hanna Oeberg (1 + 11) collapses who is forced to turn and takes Sweden out of the medals area. The Ukrainian Pidhrushna (0 + 1) takes advantage of this and comes out of the shooting range 25 seconds behind the Norwegian with 4 ahead of the Czech Puskarcokova (0 + 1) and 8 ahead of Herrmann (0 + 4). Norway (1 + 9) stands out with 10.7 ahead of Germany (0 + 9) and 18.4 ahead of Ukraine (0 + 8); the Czech Republic fourth (0 + 10) and Sweden (1 + 11) of a desperate Oeberg only fifth. Michela Carrara pays a penalty round already on the ground and a second standing and Italy drops to tenth final position at 2.29.4
