World Cup bang: Sensational Ukrainian bends Boe

Pidruchnyi is 27 years old and the Ukrainian has never been on the podium in his career. Now he is world champion in the pursuit - even though high-flyer Johannes Thingnes Boe was constantly breathing down his neck in the final lap.

Boe awards gold at the shooting range The competition continued as normal until the fourth shooting. Boe completed his laps alone at the front, so the Norwegian was able to easily cope with the two penalty laps. But when the World Cup high-flyer came to the last standing stage, the big hesitations began. Boe shot over three times and that was too much for the Scandinavian running miracle. Boe gained seven seconds in the last two and a half kilometers, but in the end Pidruchnyi still won by 8,3 seconds. Showed nerves at the shooting range: Johannes Thingnes Boe. © AP / Anders Wiklund

Third place went to Quentin Fillon Maillet in the finish sprint. The Frenchman, who had already won the bronze medal in the sprint, had more staying power than Tarjei Boe. The second of the Boe brothers also lost out. Windisch in the top 20 For the two South Tyroleans, Dominik Windisch and Lukas Hofer, there was nothing to gain in the pursuit either. After the forgettable performance in the sprint, Windisch was at least able to improve into the top 20. He ran from 27th to 17th place. Hofer, on the other hand, made too many mistakes at the shooting range (6). That was enough for 42nd place - the demands are of course different.
