Having triumphed in the 7.5km sprint in Germany on Wednesday, the Norwegian made it a double in the 10km pursuit – incurring just a single penalty on the range and pulling away from the field in the cross-country.

She eventually crossed the line in 34:08.7minutes for a sixth World Cup race victory this term, with Paulina Fialkova of Slovakia taking silver – 46.3s back.

Bronze went to Sweden's Hanna Oeberg as she pipped compatriots Johanna Skottheim and Linn Persson.
