Tiril Eckhoff was superior after safe shooting, just a boom, in the sunshine of Austria.
When it pulled together to the fourth and final shooter in standing, Eckhoff was loose, shot full, while three skiers were gathered in the battle for other podium places.
But when Elvira Öberg, Dorothea Wierer and Elvira Öberg had to take their respective penalty rounds, Hanna Öberg took the chance to dodge after a spotless shooting.
When Hanna went out on the penalty round, she was second, 15 seconds ahead of Elvira, Wierer and Ingrid Tandrevold.
In the third standing shot, Elvira Öberg held together the shot best of the Swedes and after filling the boards, she went out as four, 24 seconds behind Eckhoff in the lead.
Hanna Öberg was sixth after a boom (+40 seconds) and Linn Persson was seventh after a boom (+44)
In the second shoot, the Swedish ladies filled in and Hanna Öberg and Linn Persson went out as second and third after Tiril Eckhoff who had to take a penalty round.
Elvira Öberg was seventh out of the second shooter but quickly caught up with the cluster that chased Eckhoff.
Elvira Öberg went out as fifth and was joined by Hanna Öberg who went out as sixth, two seconds later.
They each had their boom in the first horizontal shot and Linn Persson slipped past and was the best Swede as fifth after the first shot.
