Finnish biathlete Daria Virolainen took 26th place in the individual race at the first stage of the IBU Cup in Kontiolahti.
Virolainen made four errors at the shooting range and lost 4 minutes 53.5 seconds to the winner at the finish Jeanne Richard of France. Norway wins silver Maren Kirkade bronze – his compatriot Caroline Erdahl .
The International Biathlon Union (IBU) has authorized Virolainen to represent Finland in international competitions in the 2023/24 season. The athlete has been living with her family in Finland since 2016, but at that time she played for the Russian national team and, as a member of the team, won gold at the 2017 European Championship in singles doubles mixed.
Virolainen is the eldest daughter of three-time Olympic champion Anfisa Reztsova.
Russian biathletes have been suspended from competitions under the auspices of the IBU in spring 2022.
