Julia Simon takes her first victory of the season in the Oberhof pursuit ahead of Justine Braisaz-Bouchet

We were expecting another Frenchwoman, but it was Julia Simon who won the Oberhof pursuit (Germany) on Saturday January 6. She won ahead of her compatriot Justine Braisaz-Bouchet (+18”9), who missed the opportunity for a five in a row. The Norwegian Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold (+44”4) completes the podium. This is the first victory of the season for the Savoyard, defending champion in the general classification of the Biathlon World Cup.
