In the early rounds of the competition, Schreiber displayed a strong performance by topping the air pistol shooting event (AP40), with a score of 188 points.[2] Schreiber struggled to maintain her position in the entire event, with disappointing scores in one-touch épée fencing and freestyle swimming, but quickly moved again to the top, when she placed ninth in the show jumping segment. In the end, Schreiber finished the event with cross-country running in eleventh place, for a total score of 5,464 points.[3]
