Summary

The 2018 champion, Laura Dahlmeier, and the silver medalist, Anastasiya Kuzmina, retired from competitions. The 2018 bronze medalist, Anaïs Bescond, qualified for the Olympics, but in the 2021–22 Biathlon World Cup ranking before the Olympics she was tenth. The overall leader of the 2021–22 Biathlon World Cup before the Olympics, as well as the leader in the pursuit, was Olsbu Røiseland.

Olsbu Røiseland, who won the sprint, started first, did not miss a target at two shootings, and missed one target on the third one. At the third shooting, her next pursuer, Wierer, was already 45 seconds behind, and missed two targets, dropping down to 1:25. They were followed by Lisa Theresa Hauser and Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold 1:40 behind Olsbu Røiseland. At the fourth shooting, Olsbu Røiseland did not miss targets, which guaranteed her the gold medal. Silver and bronze remained open until very late in the race. Öberg, who left the shooting second behind Olsbu Røiseland, finished second, but Tandrevold who was a few seconds behind Öberg in a bronze medal position, collapsed and dropped out of the top ten.
