Women 15 km Individual Competition

Sweden’s Hanna Oeberg, after a first-prone penalty that dropped her to 33rd position, cleaned the next three stages, leaving in second after the last standing stage, skied a very quick last loop winning the Gold medal in the women’s 15 km individual at the BMW IBU World Championships this afternoon in Oberhof. Today’s victory comes on the fifth anniversary of Oeberg’s 2018 Olympic Gold medal in the same competition. Oeberg who finished in 43:36.1, also previously won the IBU WCH 15 km individual Gold medal in 2019 at home in Oestersund. Her teammate Linn Persson shot clean, taking the Silver medal, 10.3 seconds back. The duo jumped up a notch to Gold and Silver after winning Silver and Bronze in last week’s sprint.
