Women 7.5 km Sprint Competition

France’s Justine Braisaz-Bouchet fell 34 seconds behind the lead after a prone penalty, but rebounded with a clean standing stage and blazing ski speed in the last loop to win the IBU World Championships Women’s 7.5 km Sprint Gold medal in 22:08.7. Under very snowy, windy conditions, the French star picked up the second individual IBU World Championships Gold medal of her career rafter winning the Mass Start title last year.

In less than 20 years Lenzerheide’s Roland Arena has grown from the simplest origins of a basic shooting range to the world-class venue and training facility that hosts this year’s BMW IBU World Championships.
