Hanna Oberg Wins Gold Medal for Biathlon Olympics 2018 15 Km Individual

Swedish youngster Hanna Oberg produced a faultless performance on the shooting range to claim the gold medal in the women's 15-kilometre individual biathlon at Pyeongchang 2018 on Thursday.

In four visits to the range the 22-year-old outsider took out all 20 targets to come home in 41 minutes, 7.2 seconds.

Despite just a single miss on the range Germany's Laura Dahlmeier, already a two-time gold medallist in South Korea, could only manage the bronze medal with her time of 41:48.4.

Meanwhile, Slovakian Anastasiya Kuzmina claimed the silver medal, her second of the 2018 Winter Games, as she finished 24.
