France won the women’s 4x6km relay in Oberhof in 1:18:21.9. Lou Jeanmonnot, Oceane Michelon, Justine Braisaz-Bouchet and Julia Simon combined for eight spare rounds and avoided a penalty loop on a demanding, windy afternoon.
Jeanmonnot’s opening prone stage set France ahead, and Michelon extended the advantage. Braisaz-Bouchet hit all ten targets on her leg before Simon closed out the victory with a decisive standing shoot. Norway finished 53.7 seconds behind.
Germany completed the podium, 1:28.4 back, after Maren Kirkeeide outshot Franziska Preuss in their final standing stage. Finland, Sweden and the United States filled the next three places. Across sixteen finishing teams, the shooting conditions produced 194 spare rounds.
