Gold won the German Franziska Preuss in front of the Swedish Elvira Öberg and sprint world champion Justine Braisaz-Bouchet from France. For the men, the world champion Johannes Thingnes Bö brought his 22nd World Cup gold after the sprint victory the day before. The Austrians landed outside the top 30.
Hauser had gone to the 10 km race from 26th place, but continued to move forward with three flawless shooting deposits. The 31-year-old Tyrolean gave a better placement in the last standing shooting, in which two mistakes made her. In the end, the ex-world champion lacked almost two minutes on a medal and 45 seconds on the top ten.
“It was definitely a very good race,” said Hauser. The last time we shoot it would have needed a zero. “Now it is time to take this security into the next races and then implement it the same way.” The individual competition over 15 km will follow on Tuesday (3:05 p.m./Live ORF 1). Tamara Steiner improved by four positions to 31st place with just one penalty round, World Cup debutant Anna Andexer pushed ahead from 58th place with three mistakes to 44.
Bö also not to be chased in persecution
Prusser conquered her first World Cup single gold. Previously, the 30-year-old Bavarian in Lenzerheide had already won bronze in the mixed relay and silver in the sprint. After error-free shooting performance, their final round became a triumphal procession with the German flag, Öberg (1 penalty round) and Braisaz-Bouchet (3) around 40 seconds after her. The fourth -placed French woman Lou JeanMonnot was already more than a minute ago.
