The first event of the day saw Eskau claim her second gold medal of these Games as she produced a faultless display to come out on top in the women’s 12.5 kilometres race.

The 10-time Paralympic medallist, across both summer and winter Games, missed no shots throughout the event and eventually finished in a time of 49min 41.2sec to clinch gold.

Oksana Masters of the United States, a gold medallist in the women's 1.1km sprint earlier in the week, also shot clean but her time of 50:00.0 meant she had to settle for silver.

Martin Fleig continued the German success in the men's 15km sitting with another outstanding performance, shooting clean in all four attempts at the range before crossing the finish line in a time of 49:57.2.

Following Fleig's win, team mate Eskau congratulated him on his ability to handle the pressure.

"He is one of the best biathletes in the world and he didn't win any medal in his two races before so he had a lot of pressure before this race," she said.

"I told him he needs to always remember what he can do. 

"He is able to shoot zero, he is a much better shooter than me, and I think he has done it."

Former Navy Seal Daniel Cnossen of the US continued his great form at these Games and picked up his fourth medal with a time of 50:42.7.
