These days, the 2thlon king Norway team has had some difficulties in the women's event, missing the 4×6 km relay championship and then being reversed by the French dark horse. On February 18, in the final of the biathlon women's 12.5 km collective departure at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, France's Giustina Bressa-Boucher won the gold medal with a time of 40 minutes and 18 seconds for her outstanding performance in the second half of the stand-up shooting, and Norway's Trier Eckerhov and Matt Olsb Reseland won second and third places, and Receline has won five medals at the Winter Olympics.
The biathlon women's 12.5 km group start event remains a strong point of strength for European athletes, with Germany's Denise Hermann, Norway's Reseland and Exhhoff, France's Boucher and Sweden's Sisters Erberi all strong contenders for the gold medal. Among them, Reseland has won 3 gold and 1 bronze in this Winter Olympics, and Hermann, Boucher and Reseland are the medal winners of the 15 km individual event.
During the competition, the contestants are required to shoot 4 times, the first two are lying shots and the last two are standing shots. 5 bullets at a time, if off target once, will be taxied for an additional 150 meters as a penalty. After the game began, Eckerhof and Reseland quickly formed the first echelon, at one point leading the players behind them by as many as 30 seconds. In addition to the excellent gliding technique, the two players' lying shots were also very stable, and there was no off-target. The turning point occurred in the first stand-up shot, when Boucher, who was known for his shooting skills, shot all five shots and rushed directly to the first place. She then took the lead in the gliding. In the second stand-up shot, although Boucher had one shot off target, the two Norwegian players each had two shots off target, and Boucher continued to consolidate the lead. Of the 30 finalists, Boucher's two-round stand-up shooting was the best. In the sprint, Boucher maintained her lead and hit the line first, winning her first gold medal at the Winter Olympics.
Without distraction, Boucher said his "secret book" to win the championship. "I was very calm today, not thinking about the results and the opponents, just focusing on the game." She said.
