Elvira Öberg took a stunning victory in the mass start event at Ruhpolding, showcasing her exceptional talent and determination. With four perfect shots in a row, Öberg finished the race as the undisputed first-place competitor, marking her tenth World Cup win of her career.

Ultimately, she finished the race 25 seconds ahead of her closest rival, Franziska Preuss, with Jeanne Richard claiming third place.
