9 December 2023 at 12:48 Laughing at his brother’s explanation after a superb victory After a disappointing result in Östersund last weekend, Johannes Thingnes Bø blamed a weak upper body. Then something had to be done and push-ups were the solution. – Yes, he may have taken some “hotel room training” in the bar there with his boxer shorts on, and some pushups side by side, answers Tarjei Bø when asked if pushups are the reason for his little brother’s victory in Hochfilzen on Saturday. Since Östersund, Thingnes Bø says there have been quite a few push-ups. – Plus or minus a hundred, so maybe something like that, he says. Johannes Thingnes Bø was back in good old fashion during the start of the hunt in Hochfilzen. – No one expected that, so it was a surprise for all of us. After a bad race yesterday, Thingnes Bø had a difficult starting point from starting number eleven. Stryningen had phantom speed in the track, skated well and got help from the others who missed several times. Behind him, older brother Tarjei Bø, Johannes Dale-Skjevdal and Sturla Holm Lægreid fought for the rest of the podium places. In the end Dale-Skjevdal was second, big brother Bø third and Holm Lægreid two fourth after he had a hard time towards the end. Thus, the victory podium in Hochfilzen was wallpapered in the Norwegian colours. Tarjei Bø took over the lead in the World Cup with Saturday’s third place. Nine points ahead of Sebastian Samuelsson who eventually finished in fifth place.
