She loves them mass start, Julia Simon.

The Frenchwoman won for the second time in a row on the specialty on the Antholz track at the cost of a dingo final sprint against the Swedish Hanna Oeberg.

Like last week in Germany, Simon made a fantastic comeback by managing to win despite a large rifle waste (three faults).

Only 10th at the start of the last standing shot, the Frenchwoman reproduced the same scenario as in Oberhof with a supersonic shot, while taking advantage of the general failure of the leading biathletes.

She then put pressure on the track to end up disgusting Oeberg and Hauser and signing the third success of her career.

Thanks to this victory, she is leader of the specialty with 34 points ahead of the Norwegian Roiseland.
