Ella Halvarsson put pressure on Elvira Öberg, despite missing a few shots. But Halvarsson could do nothing to stop Öberg, who once again showed her class.

Öberg missed a shot in the standing position but was otherwise superior and claimed her second straight victory of the weekend.

On Saturday, the 27-year-old won the 12.5-kilometer short-distance race.

The Biathlon World Cup starts on November 26 in Kontiolahti, Finland.
