Women 12.5 km Mass Start Competition

Italy’s Dorothea Wierer cleaned the last standing stage of this afternoon’s Oestersund women’s 12.5 km mass start, concluding a perfect day at the shooting range and skiing to a 31:58.5 victory. Wierer’s clean standing stage vaulted her from second position after the leader Julia Simon of France missed her last shot and went to the penalty loop. This moved her teammate Lou Jeanmonnot into a personal best equaling second place, also shooting clean, 6.3 seconds back. Simon, with a single penalty finished third, 11.1 seconds back.
