Norway's biathletes are making the competition desperate

After the World Championships in Oberhof, the Biathlon World Cup took a week-long break, and now the ski hunters are back again. But the picture is always the same: Johannes Thingnes Bø wins and one or more of his compatriots end up on the podium. In the Nove Mesto sprint there were even three teammates who followed the great biathlon dominator: his older brother Tarjei Bø came second, Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen third, Endre Strømsheim fourth. Remarkable, because the overall World Cup runner-up Sturla Holm Lægreid didn't start at all this Thursday due to a corona infection. And: This is not the first time this season that the Norwegians are at the top with four players. This was already the case in the mass start in Ruhpolding, as well as in the World Cup sprint in Oberhof. Always in first place: Johannes Thingnes Bø, who celebrated his 1th win of the season on Thursday. With this triumph, the sprint ball is already secured for him. Azzurri far back The best non-Norwegian in the sprint was Frenchman Fabien Claude in 5th place. Meanwhile, it was a day to forget for the Azzurri. Tommaso Giacomel, who was very consistent in the top 10 this season, made four errors at the shooting range and only finished in 26th place. Patrick Braunhofer from Ridnaun started with number 1, but was relegated to 84th place with four errors. The other Azzurri took places 53 (Elia Zeni) and 71 (Didier Bionaz). It continues in Nove Mesto on Friday, when the women complete their sprint from 16.10:13.50 p.m. The pursuit races take place on Saturday (men at 15.45:11.30 p.m., women at 15.15:XNUMX p.m.), while on Sunday the mixed relay (XNUMX:XNUMX a.m.) and single mixed relay (XNUMX:XNUMX p.m.) competitions take place.

Norway's biathletes are making the competition desperate

Norwegian Championships or World Cup? This is not immediately clear when looking at the results of the Nove Mesto Sprint. There are just as many Norwegians in the first four places.
