It was mainly on the shooting range that Högberg secured the gold medal. She only bombed once, and when the closest chasing Hanna Öberg, Linn Persson and Mona Brorsson pulled more penalties in the second shoot, she got a real head start.

Högberg finished 47.9 seconds ahead of Hanna Öberg in second place and 56.7 seconds ahead of Linn Persson who took the bronze.

Samuelsson best among the men

In the men's sprint of 10 kilometers, it became a home runner at the top of the podium. Sebastian Samuelsson did as Elisabeth Högberg and boomed only once, winning 50.4 seconds ahead of Martin Ponsiluoma and 1.20.2 before Peppe Femling.
