The Lithuanian pair started well, having won the swimming and fencing, but fifth and fourth-place finishes in equestrian and laser run dropped them to the silver medal position where they finished on 1,436.

Italy's Irene Prampolini and Valerio Grasselli finished third in swimming and second in the laser run to help them move into the bronze medal position on 1,409, seven points in front of Turkey's Ipek Aksin and Bugra Unal.
