Competing in the 15km Individual event, Colebourn finished 74th in the field of 102.
She missed only three targets across the four shoots eventually finishing 10:41.1 behind Poland’s Monika Hojnisz.
The result in the 15km Individual ensures Colebourn continues through to the next phase of IBU Cups where she will continue to push for a qualification score for PyeongChang 2018.
In the 7.5km Sprint Darcie Morton edged out Colebourn with the Aussie duo coming 94th and 95th.
