Winter Olympics: Norway's Marte Olsbu Roeiseland wins women's 10km pursuit biathlon title, Sweden' Oeberg catch Silver at Beijing 2022..
Norway's Marte Olsbu Roeiseland claimed her third gold medal at Beijing 2022 after winning the women's 10km pursuit biathlon here on Sunday.
Roeiseland took the win in 34 minutes and 46.9 seconds to add a fourth to her medal collection here that also includes gold medals in the mixed relay and the 7.5km sprint and a bronze in the 15km individual.
Olympic debutant Elvira Oeberg of Sweden managed to secure the silver with strong ski performance in spite of three penalties, 1:36.5 minutes behind the winner.
Another Norwegian Tiril Eckhoff finished third with three misses, 1:48.7 minutes back.
Norway's Ingrid Tandrevold was hot on her heels as the two exited the final shoot but Oeberg quickly dropped her to secure the silver medal, her second at the Games after second place in Friday's sprint.
Tandrevold's challenge fell apart completely on the final lap due to exhaustion, allowing Eckhoff to glide past and take the bronze, with Tandrevold eventually finishing in 14th place before collapsing. She needed lengthy medical attention before being helped off the course.
