He hit the first two flashes. But then came a fateful boom, and then another. And in the interview zone after the race, it actually started quite mildly: – It was a bit funny. I was sick in my own bubble on the first two shots. Suddenly, because of the wind, I heard Ola Lunde say: “rough boom”. I was completely put out. It was like that I almost completely lost my flow when shooting, says recruit runner Botn after the joint start to news. news’s biathlon expert Ola Lunde said “huge boom” on the live broadcast when Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen on target one missed the mark. – However, it is a terribly poor excuse. But that is actually what happened, says Botn. Lunde replies that Botn should not hear such comments. COMMENTATOR: Ola Lunde has shouted “rough boom” and “huge boom” for tens of years for news Sport.

He may not have enough focus on the flashes, but I think he delivered well anyway, says Lunde. The commentator believes that then one is not completely sharpened if it affects the shooting. – Even if I’m a bit loud, you shouldn’t hear it. Then you have a little poor focus. It is quickly done, says Lunde. news is talking to Botn again after confronting Lunde with the statements. Then the tone is harsher. – Shows incompetence – It shows how little understanding he has of what it’s like to be a biathlete and that he’s been on the sidelines here for a little too long, Botn replies. He continues: – I actually almost get a little angry when he says things like that, because it shows how little knowledge he has of what it’s like to cross-country ski. THIRD PLACE: Johan-Olav Botn after the joint start at Sjusjøen. Photo: Anders Boine Verstad / news – When you’re in a situation like that, you’re in a state where you kind of take in all the information you get, and then it’s kind of up to us as performers to filter it out a bit. But to say that you are on the last stand there and should not bring such people with you just shows incompetence, quite simply, he replies. – Usually use him Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen says they are used to Ola’s “screaming and yelling” at the stand. – It’s nice to be able to outsource to others via Ola, he says to news. – We tend to use him to our advantage. Because we listen from time to time, especially when lying down, it is an advantage to hear what he says in relation to where we miss. Then we can adjust. Botn missed twice before finally finishing 31 seconds behind winner Endre Strømsheim. With victory, the 25-year-old had secured the one available place for the World Cup in Kontiolahti in two weeks. The place goes to Vebjørn Sørum, who on Sunday got nine misses and a 32nd place. On Saturday, he finished in second place in the sprint. – That’s what you work for, so it’s great, even if I have a bit of luck with the race I did yesterday. Today it is pitch dark, says Sørum to news. Crisis start for Thingnes Bø Far behind the podium was Johannes Thingnes Bø. He got tenth place yesterday and 17th place on Sunday. He ended up with five misses at the joint start. – Now I have to wake up! says the man with 85 World Cup victories to news. – There was a wake-up call this weekend here. I hoped and thought I would be better on the stand and on the track, says Thingnes Bø. – What does that tell you? asks news. – That I’m not quite ready. 17: Johannes Thingnes Bø after finishing the men’s joint start at Sjusjøen. Photo: Anders Boine Verstad / news – Are you surprised? – Yes … I always say that we have to wait until after the weekend to see and feel how it looks. Right now it’s a bit in the shadows, I’d say, there are many ahead of me, many ski fast, many shoot well. There is zero respect for me out there and people give gas, I have to do that in the future too. Published 17.11.2024, at 14.55 Updated 17.11.2024, at 17.29
