There were seen excellent shots, the situation changed on top nearly all the time; after 12 shots there has been four athletes on the leading place: Hornung, Babic, Mulder and Galashina. Mulder even three times. Unfortunately Mulder couldn´t continue her strong shooting into the end and she was finally 6th.
As long as the final continued it became also clear the medals will be delivered between German Tripp, Russian Galashina and Swiss Hornung while these three changed on the top place all the time and did not give any possibility for others.
