January 07, 2017 (Oberhof, Germany) – Canada’s Rosanna Crawford battled tough conditions to finish 22nd in the women’s 10km Pursuit with four missed targets as France’s Marie Dorin Habert took home the victory with two penalties and a time of 34:33.3.

Czech Republic’s Gabriela Koukalova finished second, with three penalties at 38.8 seconds back, while Finland’s Kaisa Makarainen was third with four penalties at 1:19.1 behind Dorin Habert.

American Susan Dunklee struggled with the conditions on the shooting range suffering nine penalties to place 44th while Clare Egan had seven missed targets en route to 49th.

“Today was back to a bit more like Oberhof, but it was really cold so lots of cold feet and hands out there,” said Crawford. “The wind for my prone was pretty consistent and the miss was me. I just wasn’t quite focused enough and that was the same for my first standing.

“My last standing was a different story. The wind was really inconsistent and cold fingers made it hard to hit the targets. The potential was there for a really great race even with four misses, but my ski speed has been holding me back,” she added.

Dunklee will be the lone U.S. competitor in the women’s mass start on Sunday. “We had cold temperatures amplified by a brisk wind,” said Dunklee of the conditions. “I tried to draft someone on every loop entering the stadium because of the strong headwind. I am capable of shooting a lot better than I have these past couple days and now I am focusing on putting together a strong performance for tomorrow.”
