Johannes Thingnes Bö is celebrating the next victory in the sprint in Oslo. At the end of his successful career, the Norwegian dominator is again in an absolute top form.
Incredible Bö-Show in Oslo! The long-time ski dominator Johannes Thingnes Bö clearly showed in the last sprint of his career again why he is the best biathlon sprinter in history.
Bös won confidently in front of his compatriot Sturla Holm Lagreid. Although both biathletes had no mistakes, Bö had a whopping 25 seconds ahead of the overall World Cup leader. The Norwegians even achieved a five -axis victory. The best German was Justus Strelow as eighth, 38 seconds were missing on the podium after a fall in the final round.
Johannes Thingnes Bö won in the sprint of Oslo
For Bö it was the 80th World Cup victory. He also secured the small crystal ball for the sprint classification through the success.
Especially with standing shooting, Bö showed his outstanding quality, put on an insane shooting series and hit all five slices within a few seconds. “The Bö Festival played speed here,” said ARD commentator Christian Dexne after the outstanding shooting with the 31-year-old.
Biathlon: Bö wins in his third last race
Also by shooting quickly, he developed a cushion of almost eleven seconds after the second shooting on the runner -up Lagreid. Because Böb could not be defeated on the route either, he confidently celebrated the 40th sprint victory of his career.
Bö, who had recently lacked disease due to illness, ended his successful career after the weekend in Oslo. The Norwegian wants to get two more victories in the upcoming races in the persecution (on Saturday from 1.45 p.m. in the live ticker) and in the mass start (on Sunday from 3:40 p.m. in the live ticker) and maybe even attack in the overall World Cup.
Before the final two races, Bö is now 89 points behind the leading Lagreid – a deficit that will only be very difficult to catch up.
German biathletes disappoint
The eight ski hunters of the German Ski Association (DSV) met a total of 17 penalty rounds. Roman Rees (1/+1: 32.4), Philipp Nawrath (2/+1: 36.5) and Philipp Horn (2/+1: 41.1) still made it under the top 20.
The last chances of a conciliatory conclusion are available at the weekend. After a few weeks of break, the DSV team will start preparing for the Olympic season, which will begin at the end of November.
