Norway's biathlon queen, Tora Berger missed with one shot and had to settle for third place in the women's 15km event at Sotsji on Thursday. Belarusian Darya Domracheva won the race.
However, third place was still enough for Berger, who claimed the overall World Cup title last weekend, to take the individual Crystal Globe with two wins prior to her third at the Olympic test event in Sochi.
The Norwegian men did not have a good day on the job, and Tarjei Bø was best of the Norwegians in 15th place.
Winner of the men's 20km was Martin Fourcade of France.
