Iryna Kryuko was second of the team to fix Nadzeya’s result and even improved it. Iryna made no miss at the shooting ranges and tagged the following teammate, Dzinara Alimbekava, as she completed her phase with the 5th result (+21.2). 

Dzinara Alimbekava missed three times in prone. However, it did not prevent her from clear shooting in standing and handing the baton in 4th (+17.1) to Belarus’ leader Darya Domracheva. 

Darya had to use three spare cartridges and due to phenomenal speed finished to bring the Olympic gold to her team and Belarus.
