The medal was handed over to Darya by International Olympic Committee representative Danka Barteková and Klaus Leistner, a representative of International Biathlon Union.
Darya Domracheva won the silver in mass start and thus extended her medal collection of 3 gold and one bronze awards that she had already won in Sochi 2014 and Vancouver2010. Darya holds a record for medals in individual biathlon events and is the only three-time Olympic champion in Belarus’ sovereign history.
Darya lost 18,8sec to Slovakia’s champion Anastasia Kuzmina. Tiril Eckhoff of Norway clinched the bronze.
