The Norwegian colors dominated the men’s joint start in Le Grand-Bornand and for the second day in a row it was triple Norwegian. Sturla Holm Lægreid seemed to be the strongest, but a monster lap by Johannes Dale on the last lap gave Dale his second victory in the World Cup two years after his previous podium finish in the World Cup. On the run he had a narrow lead, but still took time to celebrate. – It is a risky sport he is involved in. He celebrated far too soon. That he dared to do that surprised me, commented Ola Lunde. Before the last shooting, the victory seemed to be between Johannes Thingnes Bø, Sturla Holm Lægreid, Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen and Filip Fjeld Andersen, but all had to go out in the penalty round. But 25 seconds behind the quartet came Johannes Dale, who shot a full house. On the last lap, he was 10 seconds behind Lægreid in the lead, but the lead was quickly eaten up by Dale. Towards the race, Dale moved away from his best friend and secured a small opening into the arena itself. There he therefore took the time to celebrate the victory with Lægreid at his heels. – It’s big, I had a really crappy year last year. Coming back to take a World Cup victory before Christmas is rubbish, says a tearful Dale to TV 2 Dramatikk In the last shooting it was dramatic when Lægreid, Thingnes Bø, Fjeld Andersen and Sjåstad Christiansen missed, but Johannes Dale shot a full house. On the final lap, Dale was superior and caught up with Lægreid and beat his best friend in the sprint. After yesterday’s scandalous race in which the organizers received fierce criticism from athletes and oilers, the organizers have worked hard to improve conditions in the French Le Grand-Bornand. And the Norwegian runners didn’t seem to have anything to complain about today. All six Norwegians at the start shot a full house in the two lying series, and a tight group with Johannes Thingnes Bø, Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen, Sturla Holm Lægreid and Johannes Dale got a lead down to the nearest competitors. At the third shooting, all four had to go out in the penalty round, but the Norwegian quartet continued in lonely majesty at the front with little change. Filip Fjeld Andersen with a full house hung on, while Dale opted out after two misses. But with a full house in the last shooting, he climbed onto the podium, but he couldn’t do anything to Sturla Holm Lægreid who took her second straight victory in Le Grand-Bornand.
