Nasty prank: When the Bø brothers tricked Big Bjørndalen

The Bø brothers' book already caused a stir caused a stir because of the statements about Alexander Loginov . But there is also another curiosity, namely that of Ole Einar Bjørndalen, the most successful biathlete of all time. A few years ago he was the victim of a prank by his teammates, who were still very young at the time.

Winter 2014, Bjørndalen had just won his seventh and eighth gold medals at the Olympic Games in Sochi and was the celebrated hero. But at some point he also goes back to day-to-day business and a few weeks later the World Cup in Pokljuka was on the agenda. Bjørndalen demands the surveillance images Before a day off, Tarjei and Johannes Thingnes Bø and Emil Hegle Svendsen had fun in the city in the evening, then went swimming in Lake Bled at night and then came up with a particularly bizarre idea. When they returned to the hotel, the three rogues (Johannes Bø was 20 years old at the time) let the air out of the tires of the cars and buses of the Austrian and Swedish teams. The highlight of the prank: The trio also lent a hand to Ole Einar Bjørndalen's car. “We used our ATM cards for this. The tires weren’t completely flat, but just slack.”

While the three jokers laughed up their sleeves, biathlon legend Bjørndalen found it all less funny. The next day he asked reception for the video surveillance images. At this point, the Bøs and Svendsen came out and explained that they had pulled a prank. In doing so, the trio not only attracted the anger of Bjørndalen, but also that of the Norwegian association. He fined the three rogues 100.000 crowns, which is the equivalent of around 10.000 euros. An expensive prank that will now cause a few smiles in the Bøs book.
