Tarjei and Johannes Thingnes Bö are, according to their own statements, on the verge of returning to the biathlon scene.
In the spring, Tarjei and Johannes Thingnes Bö ended their active careers as biathletes. But the sport apparently does not have to completely do without the two legends from Norway. According to their own statements, they are about to return to the biathlon circuit.
Johannes Thingnes Bö told the Norwegian broadcaster TV2 that the brothers could already work as experts next winter: “Yes, we have received inquiries. This is something we have joked about in recent years. Suddenly we are on the other side, with the microphone in our hand.”

Biathlon Stars: “Good Talks”
Both can imagine returning in a new role: “We have had some good talks, let’s see what comes of it.” The prospect of being present at the Olympic Winter Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo should be tempting for the brothers.
There they could get completely new insights as TV employees: “We are excited to see how our team does at the Olympic Games. It will be cool to be outside, not to have the pressure and finally enjoy the Olympics.”
Bö Brothers Soon TV Experts?
Bö is one of the most successful biathletes of all time with 118 World Cup victories (80 in individual), 25 World Championship gold medals (twelve in individual) and five Olympic gold medals (three in individual).
Brother Tarjei also collected three gold medals at Olympic Games and achieved 12 World Championship titles. He recently explained that the second child is on the way.
