Victory for France with great second for Italy.

Norway hang on for 3rd and Finland grab 4th on a sprint finish ahead of Czechia.

Fab 6th for a very entertaining Team USA!

Lou has pushed on during this lap, has a nice margin ahead of Lisa and Ingrid…

In for the final shoot:

Lou 🇫🇷 5/5 and away!!
Lisa 🇮🇹 4/5
Ingrid 🇳🇴 noooooo! 3 misses and she’s going onto the penalty loop…. Maybe she has the skiing chops to keep third? I think there was a big margin…

And Lou and Ingrid swooping down onto the arena together for their prone shoot…

Lou 🇫🇷 5/5 super calm
Ingrid 🇳🇴 4/5 and losing about 8 seconds

Behind them, Lisa 🇮🇹 5/5 and up to second place!

All change at shoot 6!

Wierer and Knotten needed spares but Braisaz-Bouchet went clear and she’s now leading on the tracks. Not much of a gap but just a bit…

Last leg, we’re going to get Jeanmonot vs Vittozzi vs Tandrevold!

And in for Shoot 5 with our leading group of four:

Doro goes fast and hits them all! Knotten for Norway goes with her.

JBB and Chloe taking a bit longer and will exit about 20 seconds back.

At the exchange, it’s Knotten 🇳🇴, Levins 🇺🇸, Wierer 🇮🇹 and JBB 🇫🇷

Expect that time gap to flip in France’s favour pretty quickly… Justine doesn’t do slow…

Campbell Wright coming into the range with a huge grin on his face. It works - he hits 5/5!

Hofer and Botn match him. Perrot needs another spare but is still with them in a leading group of 4.

Campbell Wright going for it!!! Commentators using words like “audacious” as he’s worked so hard on his first lap…

And he’s hit 4/5…

Hofer and Botn hit 5/5 so Italy take the lead! USA and France in 3 and 4.

Pass the popcorn - it’s Hofer, Perrot, Wright, Botn…. This is going to be wild!

And out on the tracks, things come back together again. Germany with a slight lead but the speedsters from Italy and France are coming and bringing USA, Finland and Norway (Stroemsheim - very efficient today).

Shoot 2 and that extra pace has broken everyone! Strelow comes up from 6th to 1st with a clean shoot. France survive needing all their spares. Sweden on the penalty loop.

Chaos!!!!

#biathlon
November 30, 2025 at 3:52 PM
The Jack Attack! Jacquelin 🇫🇷 and Giacomel 🇮🇹 are leading our on Leg 1. Modest pace at the moment so everyone is still relatively close together…

Getting ready for the last race of the weekend: the mixed relay.

The French megastars are on show: Jacquelin, Perrot, Braisaz-Bouchet and Jeanmonot.

Perhaps Italy as the main contender: Giacomel, Hofer, Wierer, Vittozzi

Let’s see!

What a finish! Easy in the end for Sweden and Norway, and it’s France who take the sprint for 3rd. Bened looks thrilled!!! A World Cup podium!

Brilliant 4th from the relative newcomers for Germany - Fratzscher and Fichtner. Only 3 missed shots all race.

#biathlon
November 30, 2025 at 1:38 PM
Bened has caught Fichtner but is giving her a tow down into the arena. Time for a sprint finish??

#biathlon
November 30, 2025 at 1:35 PM
And it’s the final shoot…

4/5 for Ella, and she’s into the spares but gets there…

Kirkeeide misses one bit is going to be ok for second

And Fichtner 🇩🇪 has no fear - 5/5. Bened wil have a chance to chase her down though 🇫🇷

#biathlon
November 30, 2025 at 1:34 PM
A solid 4/5 for Sweden and they’re away again. 2 misses for Norway…

All those chasers are missing too but Fichtner is super fast on her drills and Germany have a nice margin in 3rd for now

#biathlon
November 30, 2025 at 1:28 PM
Halvarsson 🇸🇪 has 15 seconds over Kirkeeide 🇳🇴 with two shoots to go…

Germany, Austria, Switzerland and maybe France in contention for 3rd…

#biathlon
November 30, 2025 at 1:27 PM
Shift in body language from Laegreid - he’s really going for it out on the tracks…

Samuelson doesn’t care - 5/5 and away he goes

Shout out to Lucas Fratscher bring Germany up to 3rd behind Norway. France on the penalty loop 😢

#biathlon
November 30, 2025 at 1:25 PM
Samuelson is continuing the pattern of aggressive skiing (does he know any other way??), extending the lead out to 12 seconds or so.

Coming in for shoot 5 and it’s 5/5!

Laegreid and Claude do the same but Stalder struggling…

#biathlon
November 30, 2025 at 1:20 PM
Shoot 4 and Sweden in with a nice lead - Ella is not holding back…

4/5 for Sweden and most of the others, but a 5/5 for Kirkeeide 🇳🇴 and they are right back in it

#biathlon
November 30, 2025 at 1:17 PM
Shoot 3:

Halvarsson shows no signs of strain and hits all 6 - wow!

Bened, the newcomer for France, out in 2nd with 🇨🇭 🇩🇪 and Estonia 🇪🇪 chasing on!

#biathlon
November 30, 2025 at 1:13 PM
Ella Halvarsson has gone off like a rocket and taken a chunky lead out of the others. Super aggressive start from her!

#biathlon
November 30, 2025 at 1:10 PM
And we are into the arena for the second shoot and handover…

Fabien Claude and Seb Samuelson hit 5/5, as does Simon Eder.

Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland, Norway not too far behind as the handover happens
