The 2025 World Champion was Frenchwoman Justine Braisaz-Bouchet but she would have a major off day, to the French a jour sans, eventually finishing only 62th after a poor shooting with four targets missed. Five sprint events had been held in the 2025/26 World Cup season with five different winners – France’s Lou Jeanmonnot, Finland’s Suvi Minkkinen, the Swedish sisters Hanna and Elvira Öberg, and Norwegian Maren Kirkeeide.
The early lead was taken by Hanna Öberg, but she would finish poorly and place only 18th with two target missed. By the second shooting, France’s Océane Michelon had taken the lead, just ahead of Kirkeeide, with Minkkinen in third, but Kirkeeide had the fastest finish and pulled ahead on the final lap to take gold. Jeanmonnot also finished quickly and took the bronze medal as Minkkinen fell back to sixth place.
For Jeanmonnot it was her third medal of the 2026 Winter Olympics, adding bronze to a relay gold and silver in the 20 km for a full set in her first Olympic Games, although she had competed at the 2016 Winter YOG.
