Behind her was the excellent Weidel, 45″ behind the Italian. In third place finished Frenchwoman Jeanmonnot, who despite a penalty, managed in the last lap to recover and pull away from Dorothea Wierer, who had overtaken her with a beautiful last standing series. The financier from Rasun used six reloads, particularly paying for the second series on the ground.
