Janina Hettich-Walz wins silver in the Nove Mesto individual event. The 27-year-old hit all 20 targets and after 15 kilometers was only 20.5 seconds behind the Italian Lisa Vittozzi, who also made no mistakes and took gold.

World Cup debutant Selina Grotian and Olympic fourth-place finisher Vanessa Voigt also narrowly missed the podium without any shooting errors. The last German individual world champion to date was Laura Dahlmeier in 2017.
