Clare Egan of Cape Elizabeth missed a top-10 end Sunday on the biathlon global championships, putting twelfth in a ten-kilometer pursuit in Ostersund, Sweden. Egan neglected five of 20 pictures in windy situations. She completed 2 minutes, forty-four—three seconds in the back of Denise Herrmann of Germany. Egan likely might have completed the top 10 but mistakenly skied a penalty loop, questioning she had missed a shot. On Instagram, Egan said, “… the target fell so slowly that it was still black once I noticed it.” Despite that extra loop, Egan moved up to 7th after the third taking pictures level; however, she ignored three pictures on her final standing stage. Still, the finish becomes the fourth-fine of her career. Egan competes subsequently in a 15K person race on Tuesday.
