Sweden's Hanna Oeberg wept tears of joy after winning the women's 15km individual biathlon at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics on Thursday.

Oeberg, 22, completed the course in 41min 7.2sec, ahead of Slovakia's Anastasiya Kuzmina with German racer Laura Dahlmeier taking bronze.

Oeberg's victory, at her first Olympics, came after the race was postponed due to strong winds on Wednesday.
