Anaïs Chevalier-Bouchet, who was competing in the very last race of her career, took third place in the mass start in Oslo on Sunday, won by Sweden's Hanna Oeberg ahead of another biathlete on the start, Norway's Marte Olsbu Roeiseland. Julia Simon, assured since the day before of winning the Biathlon World Cup for the first time in her career, placed fifth in the final race of the winter, after four faults in the standing shootout (16/20), almost a minute behind Oeberg.

Reduced visibility

In Olso's fog, Oeberg and Olsbu Roeiseland both shot 19 of 20, despite reduced visibility, but the Swede crossed the finish line 22 seconds ahead. Chevalier-Bouchet, three missed targets and fourth in the shooting range after the last standing shot, was back on the podium in the last lap. Her daughter Emie greeted her in the finish area for her exit.
