Among the later starters in the race, the 23-year-old German hammered her way around the course, missing just one of her 20 shots before sweeping up the final hill to beat Gabriella Koukalova of the Czech Republic by 24.7 seconds.

On top of a silver medal won in the sprint category, Dahlmeier has also won gold in both the women's pursuit and the mixed relay.
