In the German Oberhof, the women's persecution took place in the framework of the fourth stage of the World Cup, which was crowned with the bronze medal of Vita Semerenko.

Ukrainka started the 22nd, held four faultless shooting ranges and showed a pretty good move at the distance.

Another phenomenal breakthrough in Persjuta was made by Julia Jim, who started after the sprint of the 42nd. By the way, Julia's participation was in question because of back pain.

Well, the benefit of Anastasia Kuzmina continues. Slovak biathlete wins already in the fourth race of this season. The second was Italian Dorotea Wierer.

In the overall standings of the World Cup Kuzmina increased its advantage to 47 points. But Vita Semerenko, thanks to earned points, rose to sixth place in the total.

Recall, this is the second bronze award for Vita this season. Previously, she won the "bronze" sprint race in Annecy.

For Ukrainians this is the fifth award at the World Cup.

We still have "silver" in the relay race (Hochfilzen) and two "bronzes" of Julia Jima (sprint and individual race of Estersund).
