Squamish Olympian Megan Tandy expressed disappointment with her final individual biathlon event at the Whistler Olympic Park after missing three out of 20 shots, adding three minutes to her time and leaving her in 50th place.
"I'm a touch disappointed because I came in with some pretty high expectations. [Missing three shots] was a bit too much to make that top 30 goal," said Tandy.
However, she said, with a final shooting score of 46 out of 50 over three events, she performed better than she'd hoped this week, despite her own rigorous expectations.
"Two personal best shooting performances, being the top Canadian, I mean that is more than I was expecting."
And she is adamant that Tuesday's relay race will make fans happy.
"I think one of our strengths as a team for the four girls is we work really well together," she said. "We've had some new record-breaking relays for Canadian women, we had a few ninth places in the last two years. I say relay is our last chance and we're going to give everyone something to cheer for."
Meanwhile, Norwegian biathlete Tora Berger had the race of her life to take not only a gold medal with a time of 40:52, but Norway's 100th gold medal in Winter Olympic history more than any other country.
Kazakhstan's Elena Khrusteva took the silver with a time of 41:13, and Belarus's Darya Domracheva took bronze with 41:21.
Canada's Zina Kocher had very disappointing race that left her teary-eyed, finishing 72nd. The 27-year old had just one penalty through the first three shooting stages, but missed all five targets on the final stage. Canadians Megan Imrie and Rosanna Crawfor finished 62nd and 76th respectively.
