Lou Jeanmonnot hits hard from the start by winning the Kontiolahti individual

Like every start of the season, the Scandinavian athletes always ski a step above on the snow they know perfectly. Off like a rocket, after having already done a women's relay where she had shown that she was in good shape, Elvira Oeberg was the fastest on skis but her shooting, like last year, was not in line with his ambitions. With three faults, or 2'15 outlay, the Swede could not fight with her teammate and newcomer at this level, Halvarsson, who took second place, with a small fault and a high level on skis, demonstrating that she will have to be reckoned with this season.
