Women 4x6 km Relay Competition

Sweden’s Elvira Oeberg needed just a single spare round to clean her standing stage, sealing the women’s 4 X 6 km relay Gold medal for Sweden in 1:11:03.9. The Swedish quartet of Elvira and Hanna Oeberg, Mona Brorsson and Linn Persson used just six spare rounds in their winning effort. The Relay Gold medal was Elvira’s third medal of the Beijing OWG, following her Silver medals in the sprint and pursuit. Hanna’s medal was the third in her career after winning 15 km individual Gold and Relay Silver in 2018. Persson and Brorsson claimed their second career OWG medals; both won Silver in the 2018 Pyeongchang women’s relay. The Silver medal went to the ROC, with one penalty and seven spares, 12 seconds back. Kristina Reztsova and Uliana Nigmatullina claimed their second medals of these Games after taking Bronze medals earlier in the mixed relay while Irina Kazakevich and Svetlana Mironova won their career-first OWG medals. Germany with six spare rounds won the Bronze medal, 37.4 seconds back. The Bronze medal was the second biathlon medal in Beijing for Denise Herrmann, the women’s 15 km Gold medalist who also won a cross-country relay Bronze medal in the 2014 Sochi OWG. Vanessa Voigt, Vanessa Hinz and Franziska Preuss won the first Olympic medals of their careers.
