The Tyrolean remained clear in the shooting, after 7.5 kilometers she was 24.9 seconds behind the Norwegian Marte Olsbu Röiseland, who prevailed 15.4 seconds ahead of the French Anais Bescond and 16.1 seconds ahead of the Swede Elvira Öberg. The latter recorded two mistakes in shooting.
Hauser did not mourn the missed podium on her 28th birthday. “I felt good on the track, but I’m particularly happy about my performance at the shooting range today. Mainly because I had a few problems in Hochfilzen. Getting through two zeros today is really good. I was eight years ago I ran my first individual World Cup race here, back then with zero mistakes, “said the world champion in the mass start. “I made the best present for myself by running such a cool race,” added Hauser.
Dunja Zdouc as 70th and Katharina Innerhofer as 71st did not make it into the top 60, which will contest the pursuit tomorrow.
Today (2.15 p.m.) the men’s 10 km sprint will take place.
