Anastasia Merkushina showed the best result among Ukrainians.
On Friday, March 1 , the seventh stage of the Biathlon World Cup 2023/24 in Holmenkollen, Norway, started with the women's individual race.
It was supposed to take place on February 29, but due to unfavorable weather conditions, in particular heavy fog, the organizers decided to postpone the race a day later.
Ukraine was to be represented in the individual race five biathletes: Kristina Dmitrenko, Anna Krivonos, Anastasia Merkushina, Irina Petrenko and Yulia Jima. However, Jima did not start, so four participants ran from the “blue-yellows”.
The best among Ukrainian women in the individual event was Merkushina, who took 33rd place with two penalty minutes. Krivonos showed the 59th result, Dmitrenko – 62nd, and Petrenko – 63rd.
The Norwegian Ingrid-Landmark Tandrevold won. Swede Elvira Oeberg finished second, and another Norwegian, Ida Lien, completed the top three.
