The first stage for Latvia was performed by Rūdis Balodis, who used three spare cartridges to help close all the targets and handed over the relay to Moldova as the 19th. Alexander Patriuk needed four additional cartridges, but without penalty, Latvia managed to rise higher. Annie Kate Sabule lost her position to a Moldovan athlete in the distance and used three additional cartridges in the first line of fire. During the next shooting, she was overtaken for a lap, so Sanita Buliņa did not go on the track.

Later on Sunday there will be a mixed relay for couples, in which Baiba Bendika and Renārs Birkentāls are expected to represent Latvia.
