While Ukaleq Slettemark had a day to forget, Anne de Besche recorded the best-ever Danish result in Biathlon when she finished in 16th spot during the women's sprint at the Winter Olympics today.

Anne de Besche, who last year decided to line up for Denmark instead of Norway, recorded a superb performance during the women's Biathlon sprint at the Winter Olympics today. 

Despite a single miss in the standing shooting, she managed to finish in a shared 16th place, the best Danish result ever across the Olympics and World Cup.

At the same time, the finish secured her a place in the pursuit start at the Olympics, which was a big ambition for her. 

Anne de Besche managed to beat established names like Hanna and Elvira Öberg, Julia Simon (who won gold in the individual competition), Justine Braisaz-Bouchet (Frankrig, and Dorothea Wierer from Italien.
