Hanna Oeberg won the women’s seven-and-a-half-kilometre sprint at Holmenkollen in 20:20.4 after hitting all ten targets. Lisa Vittozzi finished five seconds behind, with Elvira Oeberg third, as Hanna combined fast shooting with the strongest skiing to claim her third sprint victory of the season.

Lou Jeanmonnot finished sixth with one penalty and secured her first overall World Cup Crystal Globe. The French athlete had finished runner-up in the previous two seasons and already held the sprint and individual discipline titles before the Oslo race.

Sweden placed five women inside the leading ten for the first time. That depth secured its first women’s Nations Cup, finishing on 6,956 points ahead of France’s 6,920 after a sunny, mild race day.
