Biathlete Marte Olsbu Röiseland has won her third gold in the pursuit after successes in the mixed relay and in the sprint.
The Norwegian prevailed against the Swede Elvira Öberg and Tiril Eckhoff, also from Norway.
However, the finish was overshadowed by an incident involving Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold.
The Norwegian, who was still third after the last shooting, was overtaken by Eckhoff on the final lap.
In the replay on Eurosport you can see a shot of numerous other runners passing Tandrevold in the last hundred meters. The 25-year-old Norwegian only very slowly made it to the finish in 14th place.
On the line she collapsed and required treatment.
She was then carried off the track.
Tandrevold is conscious
The International Biathlon Union (IBU) gave the all-clear a little later.
Tandrevold had been conscious the entire time and was already eating and drinking again.
She was exhausted, it said on the association's Twitter account with reference to the Norwegian team doctor.
The German biathletes around individual Olympic champion Denise Herrmann clearly missed another medal at the Winter Games in China in the pursuit.
Vanessa Voigt was twelfth in Zhangjiakou on Sunday, giving her the best result.
Ultimately, the deficit from the sprint race proved to be too big for the German quartet.
Franziska Preuss was 15th, Herrmann was 17th, Vanessa Hinz was 21st. After ten kilometers and one shooting error, Voigt was 2:48.4 minutes behind the winner Röiseland.
