German Philipp Nawrath broke his leg during football training this summer, but has recovered quickly. On Sunday, he first went out on a hunting start for the first time in his career, but behind him came a number of guns chasing. Norway’s biggest star, Johannes Thingnes Bø, has had a slow start to the season, and even during the start of the hunt it didn’t go well. There was drama from the start. The Norwegian left the start too early, and had to go back a few meters before starting the race again. – I am not sure about that. He may receive a 30-second penalty, said news’s expert Ola Lunde. – That could be the saving grace, because he is out too early, added commentator Torgeir Bjørn. A short time later, the International Biathlon Union (IBU) confirmed that Thingnes Bø will escape punishment to news. – Usually it is fine when the athlete moves back to the start, says sports director in the IBU, Daniel Böhm. Criticism of Norwegian “team tactics” With the start finally well over for all athletes, it was soon ready for the first shooting. After that, three Norwegians, Tarjei Bø, Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen and Vebjørn Sørum, were all in the top five, still with Nawrath in the lead. On the next lap, Christiansen wanted traction, but French Fabien Claude refused to pass and take the lead. But Sørum also refused, which news’s experts were critical of. – Then they lose a few seconds over the top there. It is not good, said Ola Lunde. – They can’t go on with that for too long, Bjørn said before Post continued: – They talked about the recruit team being their own nation, but it shouldn’t be like that on the trail. They should cooperate. Sturla Holm Lægreid had the barrel destroyed already on the first shot. With two barriers there, the road to the top had already become far too long. the road up to the best quickly became far too long. He ended up with three misses in total, and in the track it didn’t go his way either. At the finish line, he was almost three minutes behind the winner. Christiansen on the podium Nawrath kept a good gap to the competitors heading into the third shooting, well over 40 seconds ahead of Bø, Christiansen and Sørum. But there came the first hurdle of the race for the German, and suddenly the door was open for the Norwegians. Sørum shot quickly, but got too hot on the porridge and got two misses. Christiansen also missed a block, and thus only Bø was able to take advantage of Nawrath’s miss. Big brother retired almost at the same time as cross-country strongman Sebastian Samuelsson. – He must not fall for the temptation to follow Samuelsson, urged Bjørn from the commentator’s booth. WIN: Sebastian Samuelsson won in Östersund. Photo: BILDBYRÅN The Swede gained several seconds on Nawrath, while Bø ran his own race a few meters behind. Thus, the stage was set for a decision on the fourth and final shooting. Both Nawrath and Samuelsson missed there first. Bø did the same, and from the fourth shooting it was Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen who became the Norwegian who was to chase the German-Swedish duo. But no one is faster than Samuelsson in the track. This resulted in a Swedish victory at home ahead of Nawarath and Christiansen.
