DNF for Enora Latuilliere after losing a shitload of time after shooting 2, where Chloe Chevalier - who was in the medal fight - lost a lot of time too. I'm guessing both of them fell somewhere in the last lap, or just completely gassed but that seems extreme even in the hard conditions of today.

Some photos from the women's pursuit in Arber, just because. At the individual and sprint I was near the shooting range, a bit too far away for photos, during the pursuit I was at the course.

 

Waiting for Jill Colebourn, who we - in an attempt to emulate German coaches who yell in their athletes' ears from two meters - succesfully yelled towards her goal of not getting lapped.

Dying Jill.

Cheering for Chinese Yu Qing (50, gave us a nice Chinese present during the week after befriending my girlfriend at the IBU Cup in Duszniki) and Jill, both fighting with Ana Maka of Poland. On the right is Norwegian former biathlete Tobias Torgersen, until around two years ago the coach of the Brazilians (and the Swedish IBU Cup team), then coach of Poland's women's World Cup team and now working for China.

Victoria Slivko of Russia on her way to the sprint-pursuit double.

Janina Hettich (7), Nadine Horchler (4) and Ragnhild Femsteinevik (7) fighting behind Slivko. Eventually only Horchler would manage to hold on and get a podium.

Kirari Tanaka of Japan can finally go right - towards the finish - instead of left - towards the shooting range and yet another lap.
