Bø's successor returns to the finale

In the previous season, Sturla Holm Lægreid rose from nothing to the top of the world. The Norwegian only lost the race for the overall World Cup in the last race against his compatriot Johannes Thingnes Bø. But all the experts agreed: Lægreid will one day follow in Bø's footsteps. This winter turned out to be a little more difficult for the 25-year-old. It was only in the last few weeks that he really got back into shape. Lægreid crowned his rise in form on Friday in Oslo with his second success of the season and his 9th World Cup success overall. Lægreid was in a class of its own at Holmenkollen. He was 22 seconds ahead of second-placed Quentin Fillon Maillet, who also made no mistakes. The overall World Cup winner from France also secured the small crystal ball in the sprint. The Swede Sebastian Samuelsson came third on Friday. Giacomel and Windisch strong The best Azzurro was Tommaso Giacomel in 14th place. The young Trentino native was particularly able to shine with his incredibly fast and error-free standing shooting. The last sprint of his World Cup career was also successful for Dominik Windisch. With one mistake, the 32-year-old ranked 25th. This means that Windisch will at least still be able to compete in the pursuit on Saturday. After a botched first shooting, Lukas Hofer couldn't do better than 38th place. The World Cup finals in Oslo continue on Saturday with the pursuit races for women (12.50 p.m.) and men (15 p.m.). The season will then conclude on Sunday with the two mass starts. Dorothea Wierer will fight for the small crystal ball.
