Oberhof (Germany) (AFP)
The day after her victory in the sprint, the Norwegian Tiril Eckhoff did it again on Saturday by winning the Oberhof pursuit, counting for the Biathlon World Cup.
Starting 30 seconds ahead of the rest of the troop, Eckhoff completed most of the race alone in the lead before being caught by his compatriot Marte Olsbu Roeiseland after the last standing shot.
But Eckhoff, author of an 18/20 rifle, was the strongest in the sprint to sign her fifth success of the season and the 18th of her career.
Roeiseland retains the lead in the general classification.
The Austrian Lisa-Theresa Hauser, already 3rd in the sprint on Friday, took a new podium (3rd).
On the French side, Anaïs Chevalier-Bouchet was the only one to shine by taking 5th place.
