Regina Ermits sixth in IBU Cup biathlon sprint event in Austria
Regina Ermits finished sixth in the women's 7.5 km sprint at the International Biathlon Union (IBU) Cup stage in Obertilliach, Austria.

The victory went to Italy's Ilaria Scattolo, who hit all ten targets and finished in 22:03.0.
In the men's 10 km sprint, the best Estonian finisher was Mehis Udam, who placed 30th (1; +2:00.7).
On Saturday, mass start races are scheduled in Obertilliach, followed by a mixed relay and single mixed relay on Sunday.
