The pursuit race awaits the biathletes ahead
Ukrainian biathletes Julia Jima And Dmitry Pidruchny took fourth place in the mass start in the program Christmas race 2023.
Our compatriots lacked 16 seconds to get on the podium. Third place was eventually taken by Norwegians Ingrid Tandrevold (winner of last year’s mass start) and Sturla Lægreid. And the winners of the race were French biathletes Julia Simon and Fabien Claude.
The Ukrainians covered the distance in one minute and 50 seconds. They have five misses at the shooting range.
