The last round was almost a round of honor for Thingnes B\u00f8. Inside the race, he stopped completely and stood on his knees, while making a finger gesture towards the audience. In the press zone after the race, Thingnes B\u00f8 confirms that it was all an imitation of Erling Braut Haaland. When the Norwegian played in Borussia Dortmund, he celebrated in a similar way after scoring against Wolfsburg in 2021. – It was a “shout out” to our big star out there, says Thingnes B\u00f8 to news. Thingnes B\u00f8 received criticism from German Roman Rees when he booed the audience during the start of the hunt in Anterselva earlier this winter. – A bit of arrogant behavior has to be put up with every now and then. If not, the sport will turn grey, and the sport will lose out, said Thingnes B\u00f8 at the time. – We’ve seen you hush up the audience. It almost looked like a proposal? – Yes, I thought about it. It almost looked like this. I hope people see who I am imitating. The comparison will run its course online, says Thingnes B\u00f8 with a smile on Sunday. – How is the comparison in status between you and Haaland, would you say? – It’s a knockout from Haaland’s side, he says, chuckling. – It is important that he makes a bit of a show. Vetle Sj\u00e5stad Christiansen calls the picture of Thingnes B\u00f8 on his knees “picture of the year”. – That is the crudest picture I have ever seen. I hope he has taken some inspiration from my pranks, he says. – It looks like he’s playing a little Lucky Luke and is about to fire a couple of friendly shots at the audience. It is this year’s picture, says Christiansen. Tarjei B\u00f8 lost the battle for the bronze medal, but could enjoy his little brother’s gold race. – It’s nice to be able to have such a big lead that you have the opportunity to think about what you’re going to come up with when you reach the finish line. It has been a long time since I have been in that position, he says. Endre Str\u00f8msheim praises his teammate’s celebration. – It is very good to see. It can be a bit boring when he leads with one minute to go, so it is important that he puts on a bit of a show, he says.

Photo: Javad Parsa \/ NTB – Johannes is a God who walks with us The gold was in reality never threatened for Thingnes B\u00f8, who only started after Saturday’s sprint victory. On the way to the hunting start gold, he delivered perfect shooting and solid speed on the course. – Johannes Thingnes B\u00f8 is world champion at the start of the hunt with the most perfect race of them all. 20 hits on the fastest. Then it’s outclassing, said news’s \u200b\u200bcommentator Andreas Stabrun Smith after the fourth shooting. It is the first time since he won the WC joint start in Anterselva in 2020 that Thingnes B\u00f8 has shot 20 hits in a race and he himself refers to the whole thing as a “perfect run”. Sturla Holm L\u00e6greid also followed behind with 20 hits, but in the match against Thingnes B\u00f8 he had no chance despite that and was more than a minute behind from the last shooting. In the end, he finished 1.11.2 ahead of L\u00e6greid, while Sebastian Samuelsson sprinted past Tarjei B\u00f8 in the battle for third place. – I am really proud of what I can achieve with 20 hits today. It doesn’t get any better for me. The gold medal was unattainable, but silver is gold for me today, says L\u00e6greid. PRAISE TO THE GOLD WINNER: Sturla Holm L\u00e6greid ran an almost perfect race, but was still not close to threatening teammate Thingnes B\u00f8. Photo: Matthias Schrader \/ AP Sunday’s second place is the sixth time this season he has finished second behind Thingnes B\u00f8. – I just have to accept that I am the best of mortals, and then Johannes is a God who walks with the rest of us. I wonder if maybe Jesus has returned after 2000 years. In any case, he skis very fast, so we can’t do much else with him other than wait for him to take the golds he’s going to take and then maybe he’ll be satisfied, says L\u00e6greid. – As long as he is allowed to go in peace, he is simply unbeatable. He is a divine type, says resident Tarjei B\u00f8. The gold is Thingnes B\u00f8’s 13th individual victory at the top level for the season. In 2023, he has won all eight individual races he has entered. – There are so many ways to ruin a biathlon race. Winning eight biathlon races in a row, as he has done in 2023, is an absolutely extreme achievement. To be able to be so stable in a sport with so many factors, says Str\u00f8msheim, who finished in 13th place. The chase start curse was broken Thingnes B\u00f8 went for his fourth sprint gold in the WC\/Olympic context on Saturday and his eighth individual gold in the aforementioned championships. One gold that has been missing from the collection, however, is gold at the start of the hunt. When he won his first World Cup gold in the sprint in 2015, he shot himself completely away at the start of the chase in Kontiolahti with eight laps and came 31st. Four years later in \u00d6stersund, he was on his way to gold, before he missed three times in the final shooting and in the end was 8.3 seconds behind gold winner Dmitro Pidruchnij. At the start of the Olympic hunt last year, there were seven penalty rounds and Thingnes B\u00f8 dropped from first to fifth place. Thingnes B\u00f8 stood before Sunday’s race with three WC silvers and one WC bronze in the chase, but on Sunday it went all the way for the Norwegian, who thus took his 15th WC gold and 20th gold in total in the WC and Olympics.
