– Uff me, he cracks! All those who come in behind here now have the opportunity to win, exclaimed news’s commentator Jann Post when Tarjei Bø missed three goals in the last shooting. – It was a total blast! concluded Ola Lunde. Sturla Holm Lægreid seized the opportunity. He filled up the last shooting and with 19 hits in total, he went out first on the trail in the last round. Sweden’s Jesper Nelin came chasing behind, but was never able to catch the Norwegian. – I do not have words. It is unbelievable that he should be so steady, said a proud grandmother Berit after her grandson’s victory. Thus it was a day of jubilation for Lægreid, who could receive the roar of the audience inside the stadium. Tarjei Bø is chasing his little brother Johannes in the World Cup and could have taken a big hit with victory on Saturday – because it went far from Thingnes Bø’s way on home soil. See Lægreid’s progress here: Nightmare start for Thingnes Bø He was offensive from the start and was the first to enter the first shooting. There, things went really badly for the victory machine from Stryn. – It was a completely miserable series by Johannes Thingnes Bø. It is rare to see something as bad as that series there, said news’s biathlon expert Ola Lunde. He had just seen Thingnes Bø miss three times on the first prone shooting. – I rarely see such a bad series from him. Worst I’ve seen from him this year, continued Lunde. – It is tempting to say that the race is ruined, but we should not say that about him. He has done the strangest things before, added commentator Jann Post. EARLY CRACK: Johannes Thingnes Bø. Photo: NTB Ruined the pennants? The experts speculated whether the heavy rain in Holmenkollen could have put the biathletes out of action. They use pennants in the stadium to check how well the wind is blowing in the stands before they shoot. – It has rained well here. I don’t know what you think about it Ola, that it is more windy than it looks like? wondered news’s expert Marte Olsbu Røiseland. – They should take that into account. They should change right before deposit, they got new pennants in here then. I think there is very little lift in those pennants, replied Lunde. Thingnes Bø had another miss on the third shooting and on the fourth shooting Tarjei Bø followed in his footsteps. With three misses on the last shot, everything unraveled for the 35-year-old who suddenly had to look far for the victory. The worst was for Vebjørn Sørum. He missed, missed and missed – and finally finished second to last, in 29th place.
