Norwegian biathlete Marte Olsbu Røiseland triumphed in the women's 7.5km sprint to win her second gold medal of Beijing 2022.
The 31-year-old finished in 20:44.3 to become the first Norwegian woman to win the event, adding to her gold in 4x6km mixed relay on Saturday and her bronze in the 15km individual on Monday.
Sweden's Elvira Öberg won silver — a first Olympic medal for the 22-year-old — in a race that also featured her sister Hanna, who finished 19th.
Italy's Dorothea Wierer completed the podium by winning bronze.
After taking silver in the 7.5km sprint and mixed relay in Pyeongchang four years ago, Røiseland has now gone one better in both at Beijing.
"It feels great. This is my best performance ever and I did it today," Røiseland told reporters.
"This year, I have enjoyed biathlon even more. I am smiling and having fun. I just feel so lucky that I'm here and that I can race good races. I'm just enjoying it."
Røiseland revealed she was "disappointed" with her finish in Monday's 15km event — won by Germany's Denise Herrmann — but emphatically banished any lingering regrets in the sprint with a composed display of sharpshooting at the Zhangjiakou National Biathlon Centre.
"I was a bit disappointed because I missed the last shots, so I have worked a lot for three days now to try to focus on today and forget about the last race," Røiseland said.
"I think I did a really good job in my head before today's race and, for that, I'm really happy."
