Heijdenberg ended up finishing seventh in Otepää, Estonia. On the final lap, she was overtaken by compatriot Linn Gestblom, who finished sixth. Both recorded two misses.

Hanna Öberg shot well in the last round, but her starting position (24th) and a total of three misses made it impossible to fight for the podium. Elvira Öberg started as the best Swede in eighth place, but after five misses she finished twelfth.

Italian Lisa Vittozzi won, 26 seconds ahead of Finland's Suvi Minkkinen, with Lou Jeanmonnot of France third.
