Norway asked with five athletes from the starting line in today’s skiskytter-sprint of ten kilometers in Anterselva in Italy.
Tarjei Bø, Johannes Thingnes Bø, Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen, Henrik L’Abee-Lund, Erlend Bjøntegaard and Lars Helge Birkeland was the norwegians who went Friday afternoon.
If Tingnes Bo had won in the current sprint he would have won ten of 13 races this season. It is the same the French star Martin Fourcade was in the 16/17 season.
But Martin Fourcade would make it very difficult for the Norwegian. Fourcade shot full house in both landscape and portrait, while Thingenes Bo got one strafferunde on standing.
the Problem for Fourcade is that Thingnes Bø is in brilliant form on the day, and he went in to the goal with the superior 17 seconds down to second place Erlend Bjøntegaard. It was 21,3 seconds down to their supposed toughest competitor Martin Fourcade, who in the day ended in fourth place.
It was thus for the rest of the record to Fourcade. Thingnes Bø is now with victory in ten of the 13 races this season, and if he wins the next, he will stand alone with a record of eleven victories in 14 races. the
Double Norwegian
Erlend Bjøntegaard impressed when he went in to a very strong second place behind Thingnes Bø.
– a closure, said the Radio commentators Stabrun Smith and atlantic Puffin in a choir when Bjøntegaard was over the finish line.
Tarjei Bø ended with one bom on the landscape, and one boom on the upright, and is situated on a preliminary 16. space. Lars Helge Birkeland impressed also when he went into to 15. space. L’Abee-Lund is currently on a 34. space and Christiansen is located on the 48. space.
Can become the most
This season has Thingnes Bø been in fantastic form. Now he can be most-awarded performer in the course of a skisyting-season. Fourcade is a holder of record with 14 victories.
I’m going of course to try and beat it, said Thingnes Bø of the Norwegian broadcasting corporation about the Fourcades record.
And Fourcade boast of their Norwegian competitor.
I’m sure he beats the record if he continues in the same speed, said Fourcade to see, before he came with a warning:
I began to think about to break the record themselves, and then I went not as well. I was on the podium all the time, but I was not able to win.
